A small funicular railway brings you up to a waterfall, the view there is just amazing! A small and easy hiking trail allows you to see the waterfall and the beautiful surrounding landscape from different points of view. Fully recommended!

Swiss Alps are breathtaking, all worth it...ready for my next adventure. The Alpine region of Switzerland, conventionally referred to as the Swiss Alps, represents a major natural feature of the country and is, along with the Swiss Plateau and the Swiss portion of the Jura Mountains, one of its three main physiographic regions

This is a rewarding and easy short hike with neat "behind the falls" access and gorgeous valley views. Do not miss it -- do this if you have an hour or so and weather up in the mountains is lousy for hikes.

The mighty Trummelbach Falls are cased inside the Lauterbrunnen valley wall and for a small fee, you can take a lift and walk higher up the falls to witness it gush, twist and turn all the way down to the valley floor. Amazing in any weather. It can get cool and wet inside, so be prepared with proper clothing.

Amazing location, on the lake Brienz (I recommend to get there via boat), with a small funicular railway that brings to a hotel. The landscape is beautiful, and there are many hiking trails to do. The waterfall is just amazing and you can watch it from different points of view.

Lauterbrunnen village is in the valley which separates Wengen (and the Mannlichen) from Murren (and Birg/the Shilthorn). It's beautiful and has loads of cute shops and restaurants, and the train station regularly serves Wengen, Kleine Shiedegg and Jungfraujoch), as well as Interlaken, connections on to Grindelwald and beyond. The Trummelbach Falls are accessible via the regular buses (which depart from outside the station).

We rode the bus (using the free card for those staying in Lenk hotels) to the end of the line in the valley above Iffigfall, then walked the trail down past Iffigfall back into Lenk. The upper part of the trail is very steep, but well maintained. The trail gave varying views of the falls and the valley below. An excellent hike
