Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland


Lauterbrunnen is a municipality in the Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. It lies in the Lauterbrunnen Valley and has a population of 2509 (Dec 2011). It is because of the extreme steepness of the valley that the village owes numerous waterfalls. The most famous of these are the Staubbach Falls within less than one kilometres of the village. The height of the cascade is between 800 and 900 feet (240 and 270 m), one of the highest in Europe formed of a single unbroken fall.
