1. Aare GorgeMeiringen The Aare Gorge is a section of the river Aare that carves through a limestone ridge near the town of Meiringen, in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The gorge is an indirect product of glaciation; 10,000 years ago, just as the Ice Age was coming to an end, torrential runoff water from melting glaciers eroded a deep, narrow chasm through the limestone barrier. Although barely one mile long, this passage is bordered by sheer cliffs up to 165 feet high on either side. The gorge varies in width from some 30 metres at its widest to just 1 metre at its narrowest.The gorge is a popular tourist attraction, many visitors attracted by the nearby Reichenbach Falls, which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle selected as the setting for Sherlock Holmes' murder by Professor Moriarty.

While visiting friends in Switzerland, my friend and I take a car tour of interesting sites and picturesque views. One of our stops was at the water wheel at Reigoldswil. Reigoldswil is a municipality in the district of Waldenburg in the canton of Basel-Country in Switzerland.
In this video you'll see views of the area around the water wheel and the streams that make the wheel turn. This traditional set up has a modern touch as it generates a low amount of hydro-electric power.
The beautiful spring weather makes the setting even more pleasant as the sound of falling water soothes our nerves.
