From the end of the last ice age and until the discovery of his man passed no less than 15,000 years. While in 1887 the Trummelbach waterfall was not discovered by geologists, it was hidden from human eyes in the depths of the mountain. Only the lower part was visible. The name of the Trümmelbach waterfall fully describes the waterfall. It is translated as "rattling drums". The visitor first hears, and then only sees the waterfall.
About the waterfall
The amount of water in the waterfall varies greatly: from December to March this is a small stream, hidden under an ice shell; in April and October, the amount of water slightly increases; From July to September, snow begins to melt, thunder rains and the Trummelbach waterfall turns into a stormy river with a flow of 20,000 liters.
The waterfall originates at the tops of the mountains of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau . The fault resulting from the descent of the glacier allows the water to flow unhindered down into the valley. The Trummelbach waterfall is born on a glacier and even in summer the water is ice cold. By the way, the water of the Trummelbach waterfall is similar to milk. This is due to the fact that the water erodes the rocks and the sand with clay stains it in a whitish color. Every year, water flows wash up to 20 tons of stone.
How to climb to the waterfall?
There is a waterfall in the picturesque valley of Lautenbrunnen, 20 km from the ski resort of Interlaken . To get to the waterfall, you need to walk through the village to a small rise, after which there is a tunnel protecting visitors from rockfalls. After passing the checkpoint, the visitor enters the cave where the elevator is located. On it you can go up to the viewing platforms. You can also go upstairs and upstairs. The waterfall itself reaches a height of 140 m, which is approximately 10 floors. The elevator rises only up to the height of the sixth floor. The rest of the height will have to be conquered on foot.
The waterfall consists of ten cascades, each equipped with observation platforms, from which you can shoot. However, this is difficult, since the air constantly hangs a water suspension. The Trummelbach waterfall is all natural beauty and power.
How to get there?
It's easy to get to the falls. From the village of Interlaken to the station Lautenbrunnen there is an electric train. From Lautenbrunnen to the waterfall there is a bus number 141, stop - Sandbach.
