Sun, 8/19: Gimmelwald and Lauterbrunnen valley

We explored the charming little town of Gimmelwald, which has kept the tourist development away by having the town and area designated as a landslide/avalance zone.  The town’s people adhere to traditional ways of raising cows and goats and producing goods.

Later, Mary and Paul took the train/cable car down to Lauterbrunnen, and walked to the other end of the valley to Strechelberg to catch a cable car back up to Mürren.  Mary and Paul ate lunch on the main street of Lauterbrunnen.  Phyllis had lunch in Mürren.

Walked Lauterbrunnen valley:







and visited Trummelbach Falls, which has ten falls inside the mountain, accessible via tunnels, caverns, stairs, and a lift.  The falls capture water from the ice fields on the Mönch, Eiger and Jungfrau mountains, which results in the huge flow of water. Quite incredible.
