Brienz is a municipality in the district of Interlaken in the canton of Berne in Switzerland. The village lies on the north bank of Lake Brienz in the Bernese Oberland at the foot of the Brienzer Rothorn mountain. Tourism and woodcarving are the main activities. The Cantonal Woodcarving School established in 1862 is well-known and respected in the trade.
In the difficult years of the First World War a sea-promenade was built that leads along the village to the lake shore, and is probably something one of the most beautiful things Brienz has to offer. With magnificent flower beds and tree plantings, it offers, unencumbered from traffic, peace and relaxation. Ride the Brienz Rothorn Bahn, a steam train up the Brienzer Rothorn. The Ballenberg open air museum of nearly 100 original century-old buildings from all over Switzerland. Giessbach waterfall with the Giessbach-Bahn, the oldest Funicular in Europe
