Swtz07 - Hike to Trummelbach Falls - Lauterbrunnen Valley





View from "our  room" at  Valley Backpacker Hostel 
 in the   Lauterbrunnen Valley   central Switzerland . .
September 25, 2017 . . we'll remember this !
Our deck has little table and chairs . . and a drying rack.
We're moving 'north' . . always by Train . . and do they ever have many types here
the only sensible way to deal with these very  steep inclines   and  deep valleys






We decide to strike out on foot to the other end of the Valley floor
to look for   . .   Trummelbach Falls
about an hour "that - away"
The scenery is  no - doubt - about - it  . .  SWISS
with  cows  .  sheep  .  &  "BELLS" 





and  Chalet - style Homes  .  Wide Roof Overhangs  .  Flower Boxes





and  Valley  community  CEMETERY
well - groomed  and  lovingly attended by the 
 . .  surviving family members





This Falls is as much about  Cave  and  Climbing  as it is about  Water
You begin with an elevator ride up . . before you climb  higher  and  lower
and  around  and  above  and  behind . . 
through  tunnels
often with peekaboo views 
down into the valley floor   (or)  across into forest or snowfield 













Perspective  gets lost  . .  and of course Falls don't stand still . . filming is not an amateur art





















Once you spot the Swiss Flag you have a choice
. .  head for the Bus Stop
or  . .  retrace your hike across the cow fields
and back through the Valley
The temperature is nice.  We opted to walk back enjoying the scenes in reverse






Some sit and snack a while.   Everyone heads for the . .  HIS  and  HERS






Next is  . .  Schilthorn  and  Piz Gloria  and  James Bond (?)
Calendar Day  . .  September 26  . .  a great day
