Murren, Switzerland - Day 3

On our last day in Murren, we had breakfast at our hotel and then set out to hike down from Murren to Lauterbrunnen by way of Grimmelwald and Stechelberg. It was another amazing hike with the most picturesque scenery - snow capped mountains, wildflowers, and waterfalls.

Heading toward Lauterbrunnen

Lauterbrunnen Valley

It took us about 3.5 hours to hike to Lauterbrunnen where we enjoyed lunch on a restaurant patio and then wandered through a few shops before catching a bus out to Trummelbach Falls. Trummelbach Falls is a series of 10 waterfalls that are located inside of a mountain. We rode the elevator to where the uppermost waterfalls can be accessed via a pathway and stairs that are tunneled through the mountain. It was amazing to see how the power of the water had carved its way through the rock of the mountain. We walked back down to the valley floor on the stairs that led past the rest of the waterfalls. The bus took us back to Lauterbrunnen where we were happy to rest our legs on the funicular and train rides back to Murren after our 12 mile hike today.

We got a little wet from the waterfall mist

Back at our hotel, we got cleaned up and then enjoyed a delicious meal at the La Grotte restaurant while it was pouring rain outside. 

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Murren. Both Jim and I agree it is the most beautiful part of the world we have ever seen. We definitely hope to come back to this part of Switzerland some day!
