Brienz

The landscape around Brienz is defined by steep Alpine slopes rising directly above Lake Brienz, which has shaped both the settlement’s linear lakeside form and its local economy. The village sits in the Bernese Oberland beside the turquoise lake, with the Brienzer Rothorn climbing high above its eastern side. Brienz has long been associated with Swiss woodcarving; carved figures, furniture and decorative objects remain part of its local identity. The historic Brunngasse, lined with closely set wooden houses, reflects this tradition of timber craftsmanship.
