Meiringen, Switzerland, is an important location in Sherlock Holmes history because it is home to the famous Reichenbach Falls. In Arthur Conan Doyle’s original stories, this is where Holmes and Professor Moriarty supposedly fell to their deaths during their final fight. I found this information on Alpine Hikers, in an article written by Eryka Thorley. The article explains the waterfall's connection to Sherlock Holmes and why fans still visit today. I would connect this source to singular authorship because one person wrote the article instead of a group of fans. The website also acts as a gatekeeper by choosing what information gets shared with readers. Adding Meiringen to the COVE map gives people more background on Sherlock Holmes and shows how a fictional story can turn a real place into a destination for fans.
