The Reichenbachfall funicular (German: Reichenbachfall-Bahn; RfB) is a funicular in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss canton of Berne. It links Willigen, near Meiringen, with the uppermost of the Reichenbach Falls, famous as the site of the apparent death of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional hero, Sherlock Holmes. On its route the line follows and crosses the lower falls of the Reichenbach.The funicular was opened in 1899, and was rebuilt in 1999 to the original design.
