Lauterbrunnen | A Waterfall Poem in an Alpine Valley
Lauterbrunnen, located in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland, is a tranquil valley hidden among the mountains. In the early morning, a gentle mist drifts through the valley, and the whisper of 72 waterfalls cascades down the cliffs, interweaving with the distant tinkling of cowbells to create a natural symphony.
Wandering along the village paths, wooden houses and gardens are scattered amidst the greenery, and vibrant window-frame flowers shimmer in the morning light. Trümmelbach Falls tumbles deep into the cliffs, its water roaring through a crack in the rock, a deafening yet primal grandeur and awe-inspiring experience.
In the afternoon, take a cable car or hike to the Schilthorn for a panoramic view of the valley. The snow-white mountains, deep green valley, and cascading waterfalls complement each other, creating a living Alpine landscape. As the sunset paints the valley golden, the waterfalls shimmer in the light, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of ice, snow, and green grass. At night, the village is ablaze with lights, surrounded by mountains, and the only companions in the silence are the whisper of waterfalls and the glow of the stars.
