Reichenbach Falls, Meiringen, Switzerland. In Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Final Problem”, Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty confront each other beside these falls on 4 May 1891. I came here while finishing Moriarty: The Napoleon of Crime. These are photographs from that research trip.

Photographs cannot convey the sound. This is Reichenbach from the path itself: the roar, the spray, and the sheer scale of the place Doyle chose for Holmes and Moriarty’s confrontation.

The Victorian Moriarty Saga begins three years later, when Holmes hands Watson the journal he recovered from Moriarty’s coat at Reichenbach and asks him to read Moriarty’s version of events before hearing what Holmes discovered afterwards. Follow the saga: moriartybook.com
