		We had read that Geissbach Falls was located along here but our plans didn't include a trip to it; however, we were not disappointed because from the boat, we could see Geissbach Falls as it flowed down into the Brienzersee.
		Once we reached the top, there was a short walk from the station up to a restaurant and a path leading farther up to the Rothorn Kulm.

		I agree that the Brienzer Rothorn cog railway is terrific (IF the day is sunny).
