Like I said in the previous post we made one more sightseeing stop on the way home. It was to another village close by called Lauterbrunnen. (We actually almost stayed there instead of Grindelwald.) So Lauterbrunnen is the home of Trummelbach Falls. I had never heard of it, but Todd had come across it while looking stuff up on the internet for this trip. Here's what the brochure says ....
Ten glacier-waterfalls inside the mountain made accessible by tunnel-lift and illuminated. The Trummelbach alone drains the mighty glacier defiles of Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau and carries 20,200 tons of boulder detrirus per year. Its drainage area is 27m sqared, half of it covered by snow and glaciers. Up to 20,000 liters of water per second. Its the only glacier-waterfalls in Europe inside the mountain and still accessible.
It was really cool and I've never seen anything like it before.
I took a lot of pictures here too, but who wants to look at 100 pictures of water spraying everywhere. So I condensed for your viewing pleasure.
