Trümmelbach Falls is a powerful waterfall located in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Join us as we ascend the interior of this mountain cutting waterfall. Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland is one of the most iconic and picturesque places in all of Switzerland - and that is saying a lot considering how majestic this entire country is. Additionally, it is home to one of the most powerful and deadly waterfalls that we have ever witnessed - Trümmelbach Falls! It is a series of ten glacier-fed waterfalls inside the mountain that you can see from the inside via its own cave-like carving and due to a number of stairwells that were built in 1913 and maintained ever since. Trümmelbach is a natural UNESCO World heritage site as it is formed by glacier melt-water from Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau that form a powerful raging torrent that carries 20,000 liters of water per second through the caves.
