First we stopped in Lauterbrunnen and we walked up to Staubbach falls. With a height of nearly 300 meters, Staubbach Falls is the second highest waterfall in Switzerland. In the summer warm winds swirl the waters around, so that the Falls spray in all directions. These droplets of water spray gave the brook and the waterfall its name. The view is amazing from the path behind the waterfall. We saw many little rainbow and in background the snowy mountains.
We continued our car trip from Lauterbrunnen toTrümmelbachfalle. It is very closed to Lauterbrunnen, only 3 km. There we visited a very special attraction is formed by the Trümmelbachfälle. These waterfalls are meltwater, coming directly from the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Thousands of liters per second rumble down in beautifully worn out rock walls. In the course of thousands of years the water slowly grinded the rocks into remarkable shapes. We went in between the rocks in the amazing pathfoots. We could see the power of the water the shapes of the rocks, many little waterfalls and heard the fearsome rumbling of the waterfalls. The tempreature was under 10 degrees inside!
Our third stopped was in the little village of Stechelberg. We had a very good lunch there. We saw some paragliders on the clear blue sky under our relaxing time.
We continued our enjoyfull tour after the lunch and went up to the hamlet of Gimmelwald from Stechelberg with cabblecar. The cabblecar trip was grandiose. We saw the valley and the waterfalls arround us.
The view onto the mountains (Eiger, Jungfrau, Mönch) from Gimmelwald was fascinating!
We crossed and left that cute hamlet and went down to Stechelberg. We went trough many bridges and saw little waterfalls too.
It was a great and amazing tour!
