Trummelbach Falls

The Trümmelbachfälle, to give them their German name, are a succession of 10 waterfalls which plunge down in impressive cascades through a twisting gorge carved through the Schwarze Mönch (Black Monk) mountain by the thundering waters. Up to 20,000 litres of water per second surges down from the glaciers and snow of the mighty mountain massif, the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, each peak around 4000 metres high. The falls are illuminated, and made accessible by an inclined lift in the rock walls. The Trummelbach Falls are Europe’s only accessible glacial waterfalls actually inside a mountain and are open to the public from mid-April to the end of October.
