Did You Know?
Impressive Height
Staubbachfall is one of Switzerland's highest free-falling waterfalls, plunging approximately 297 meters (974 feet) from a cliff face.
Goethe's Muse
The famous German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was so inspired by Staubbachfall during his 1779 visit that he wrote the poem 'Spirit Song Over the Waters' about it.
Glacial Source
The waterfall is fed entirely by the melting waters from the high alpine glaciers and snowfields above the Lauterbrunnen Valley, meaning its flow varies significantly with the seasons.
Walk Behind the Veil
During the summer months, visitors can access a carved tunnel and gallery that allows them to walk directly behind the curtain of water, offering a unique and immersive experience.
