Glacier Melt

Posted by on 24 September 2007

Last Sunday afternoon we headed down from Murren and went to visit the Trummelbach Falls. This is a series of waterfalls roaring through a mountain, runoff from the melting glaciers of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau. It is truly spectacular. The dim lighting combined with our puny little camera made it impossible to capture even a hint of how beautiful the various interior falls were.

Trummelbach Falls are reachable via bus (7 minutes) from Lauterbrunnen, and admission is CHF 12 (definitely worth it, despite what the disgruntled German tourists in front of us in line may have thought when they found out the ticket price).

Kind of reminded me of Ruby Falls. OK, not really.

    Ooooh, I had totally forgotten about Ruby Falls! My brother lived more or less within walking distance of the falls for a few years, although I never went to see them when I was visiting Lookout Mountain. (Come to think of it, we were always too cheap to ever pay to see Trummelbach Falls when we were in the Jungfrau region, and stuck with (free) Staubbach Falls instead.)

    I’m betting Trummelbach is better value for money than Ruby Falls (just in case you’re ever deciding between the two). Mainly I’m impressed that someone else has heard of Ruby Falls. :)
