Voice-over:

Giessbach: This grand hotel was finished in 1874. Look at the elegance of the building, combined with the beautiful serene surroundings. You can imagine how the high society back in the days just loved to spend their precious time here.
Diplomats, artists, statesmen and even kings were regular visitors.

After 2 wars with disasterous consequences for the Swiss hotels, the fame and glory of Giessbach faded. It even closed it’s doors in 1979, and plans were made to demolish it. There should be something new, something modern.

Fortunately some people didn’t lose their mind, and a Swiss ecologist managed to buy the property and made Giessbach a gift to the people of Switzerland. There is a restaurant now, and a small number of renovated rooms. All to ensure this place is used as it was meant to be: a little escape from reality.

The Brienz Rothorn Bahn is far from an ordinary train. The locomotive strategically placed at the back, you slowly climb the mountain to over 2000 meter. This steam driven ride celebrates it’s 125th birthday this year. It truly really feels like a ride through history.

Well we’re only in for just a few minutes, when they call us to get outside. Come.

Leaving Giessbach it’s definitely worth it to take a stroll through the beautiful city of Brienz. We haven’t got much time though. They’re waiting for us..

And that’s the end of this weeks episode. But no worries, we’ll see you next week. Doeg!
