Did we mention that Sherlock Holmes died in Meiringen? At the Reichenbach Falls just a few minutes from the center of town. And that he was on his way to stay at the same Rosenluai Hotel we’ve stayed. The town has capitalized on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s epic story of the legendary hero’s demise, or suspected demise, struggling with his arch enemy the villain Dr. Moriarity. There are statues, streets, bars and restaurants, plus the same English Church featured in his works which has been converted into a museum by the Sherlock Holmes Society.

Guess I’ll have to read the story too.
