Lauterbrunnen

Lauterbrunnen occupies a narrow glacial valley in the Bernese Oberland, beside the Weisse Lütschine and beneath the cliffs of the Jungfrau region. The valley is renowned for its concentration of waterfalls, traditionally counted at 72; Staubbach Falls drops almost 300 metres from the western wall above the village. Within the valley, the Trümmelbach Falls carry meltwater from the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau through channels inside the mountain. Goethe visited Staubbach in 1779, and the falls helped inspire his poem “Gesang der Geister über den Wassern”. Lauterbrunnen is also a rail and cable-car departure point for Wengen, Mürren and settlements higher on the slopes.
