I do know how to count, that after 2 comes 3, then 4. However, Interlaken - Part 3 had hidden in the archive...sneaky little thing! We reached Trümmelbach during the bike ride on the second day, as part of our journey. Trümmelbach is a series of 10 glacier-waterfalls inside the mountain. They have caved out tunnels inside the mountain and built elevator and stairs for people to get as close as possible to the waterfalls.
The power of them is absolutely breathtaking! The water is drainage from the 3 big glaciers Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
20,200 tons of water passes every year, and the waterfalls comes with a speed and power of up to 20,000 litres of water per second! This powerful waterfalls have throughout history shaped the mountain in beautiful curves and cork screws, creating a labyrinth of tunnels.
It is the only glacier-waterfalls in Europe inside a mountain and still accessible.
