The very name ‘Lauter Brunnen’ (‘many fountains’) suggests the magnificence of this landscape. There are 72 waterfalls in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, the most famous being the #StaubbachFalls. Plunging almost 300 metres from an overhanging rock face, they are one of the highest free-falling waterfalls in #Europe. In 1779, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited the valley, and was inspired by the roaring waters to write his well-known poem ‘Spirit song over the waters’ (#SpringSongOverTheWaters).
