Staubbach Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The Staubbachfall is really extraordinary. From some perspectives, one feels directly reminded of the "Lord of the Rings" in the Lauterbrunnen Valley - it seems not unlikely that Mr. Tolkien got some inspiration from a hiking holiday in Switzerland at a young age, just as one probably did for Peter Jackson may accept.

Mürrenbachfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Mürrenbach, which rises above Mürren, passes the village on the southern outskirts and crashes here over the high rock faces of the Trog valley almost to the valley floor, is a left tributary of the Weisse Lütschine with a catchment area of three and a half square kilometers. According to studies from 2009, the Mürrenbachfall is the highest waterfall in Switzerland with a drop of 417 meters.

Mürrenbachfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Mürrenbach Falls should be given more importance, as it is much higher than the Staubbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen!

June 21, 2022,Grindelwald: Lauterbrunnen nach Stechelberg (Lauterbrunnental, Wasserfalltour) einschl. Trümmelbachwasserfälle

Arriving in Lauterbrunnen, our first goal is the tourist information, because this is where we got our 3rd stamp.
Then we hike through the Lauterbrunner valley, which is framed on both sides by high rock faces. The main landmark is the Staubbach Falls, which fall 300 meters from an overhanging rock face. In total there are 72 waterfalls in the …

June 21, 2022,Wasserfalltour von Lauterbrunnen (Stempel) nach Stechelberg mit Trümmelbachwasserfall

The morning in Lauterbrunnen began with a rain shower, which in the end didn't stop us from starting the hike, because the sun wasn't long in coming. The first thing to do was to put Lauterbrunnen's long-awaited stamp in our booklet. In the Lauterbrunnen Valley, 72 waterfalls shoot over the edges of vertical rock faces up to 400 meters high. …

June 16, 2022,"Tolkins Inspiration". Von Stechelberg nach Lauterbrunnen mit Halt bei den Trümmelbachfällen.

No wonder the author of the "Lord of the Rings" books J. R. R. Tolkien, on his visit to the Lauterbunnen Valley in 1911, chose this as the spiritual template for "Riven Valley" in the Shire. And you can't blame the master of the imaginative pen. But the Lauterbrunnen Valley is also a real eye-catcher, which with its 72 waterfalls, …

The hike from Lauterbrunnen (795 m) to Stechelberg (910 m) takes you through the spectacular ‘Valley of the 72 Waterfalls’. It is one of the most impressive valley endings in the Alps, flanked by vertical rock faces rising up to 400 metres 🤩.

April 30, 2025,🇨🇭-BE- Lauterbrunnental

Upon arrival, you'll see the first impressive waterfall, which gives you a taste of the scenic beauty of the entire tour.

The trail runs through the Lauterbrunnen Valley and leads to Stechelberg along a well-paved road and paths.

This section is more of a leisurely stroll, requiring no special hiking boots.

May 19, 2023,Unterwegs im Tal der 72 Wasserfälle - Beautiful Switzerland 🥰🇨🇭

No whining today... I promise 🤞🏿
Lauterbrunnen was the actual destination of my trip to the 🇨🇭. Every time you watch videos about Switzerland, the small village always appears in the top 5. "Due" to its 72 waterfalls. Such a density of waterfalls is not known to me personally 😱
Unfortunately, it was a long weekend with the bridging day …
