Day 29 - Eiger Express

October 06, 2022  •  Leave a Comment

This morning we left our hotel in Habkern and drove down to Interlaken.

Even the local inhabitants bade us farewell and wished us a good day.

We carried on to the town of Grindelwald.

From here we rode up the Eiger Express to the Eiger Glacier, at the base of the Jungfrau.

This is a relatively new gondola, which cost 147,000,000 Swiss francs to construct.

The views of the countryside near Grindelwald from the gondola were exquisite.

But not so much at the top, which was enveloped in fog.

But still this was an enjoyable experience.

Once we got below the fog, I found many photographs.

Afterr leaving Grindelwald, we drove down its valley and up the Lauterbrunnen Valley, with its high steep rock walls.

Near the end of the valley we visited Trummelback Falls, a large gorge carved by millions of years of rushing water.

A geologic marvel, but difficult to photograph.

Thus ended another day.
