Reichenbach Falls
Many fans have made a "pilgrimage" to Meiringen, Switzerland, and the nearby Reichenbach Falls, where Holmes has his final showdown with Professor Moriarty in Doyle's short story "The Final Problem". The Sherlock Holmes Society of London has organised group trips to the Reichenbach Falls intermittently since 1968. There is also a Sherlock Holmes museum in Meiringen, and another Sherlock Holmes museum in Lucens, Switzerland. The world's first statue of Sherlock Holmes was unveiled in Meiringen in September 1988, by the Sherlock Holmes Society of London, which also unveiled the statue in London in 1999. John Doubleday sculpted both of these statues.
