Switzerland 2 Waterfalls
Yesterday was raining most of the day so we decided a trip to the waterfalls might be a good option. Our main target was the Trummelbach Falls. With its ten glacial water falls inside the mountain, the Trümmelbach alone drains the enormous glacial walls of the Eiger (3970m), Mönch (4099m) and Jungfrau (4158m) a catchment area of 24 square kilometres of which approximately half is covered with snow and ice. It can have up to 20,000 litres of water per second, which would be deafening. On the way we visited the Staubbach Falls, the third highest waterfall in Switzerland at nearly 300 metrers. While I concentrated on a more distant shot, Peter and Holly walked up close to waterfall to put some scale in the photo!
