Reichenbach Falls (Reichenbachfälle)

Giessbach Falls (Giessbachfälle)
Giessbach Falls spills into light blue Lake Brienz and is accompanied by a historic hotel. It’s said to tumble 500m in height over serveral tiers, but if Reichenbach Falls is…
Trummelbach Falls (Trümmelbachfälle)
Trummelbach Falls is one of the more unique waterfalling experiences to be had. What makes this waterfall stand out is that it’s nestled deep in a slot canyon carved out…
Murrenbach Falls (Mürrenbachfälle)
Murrenbach Falls took us by surprise as it fell prominently deep within Lauterbrunnen Valley. It surprised us because prior to our visit, we thought the main waterfalls in the valley were…
Aegertenbach Falls (Ægertenbachfälle)
Aegertenbach Falls is situated right between Staubbach Falls and Murrenbach Falls and right across from Trummelbach Falls. Of all of these waterfalls, this one…
Staubbach Falls (Staubbachfälle)
Staubbach Falls is perhaps the signature waterfall of Lauterbrunnen Valley, because I’m pretty sure this waterfall is noticed by just about everyone that comes to this valley…
Other Swiss Waterfalls
This Other Swiss Waterfalls page is what I’m designating as a repository for the various waterfalls we’ve seen around the country that we couldn’t quite figure out…
Roski Slap (Krka Waterfalls)
Roski Slap (or more accurately Roški Slap; pronounced “ROSH-skee SLAP”) is the other main waterfall attraction of Krka National Park. But unlike our impressions for Skradinski Buk…
Skradinski Buk (Krka Waterfalls)
Skradinski Buk is one of two main waterfalls (or waterfall networks) featured in Krka National Park. Similar to the Plitvice Lakes National Park, the waterfalls found in…
Plitvice Waterfalls
As opposed to being any singular attraction, the Plitvice Waterfalls are really a large network of karstic lakes and waterfalls. Just imagine walking besides and even right over…
Edessa Waterfalls (Eδεσσα)
The Edessa Waterfalls was the lone waterfall excursion that we engaged in on our first visit to Greece. It’s really a series of waterfalls (seven according to the literature…
Dynkur (Buðarhálsfoss)
Dynkur (also called Budarhalsfoss or Búðarhálsfoss; “BOO-thur-howls-foss”) was a wide and powerful multi-segmented waterfall on the Þjórsá River. Getting to this waterfall required a bit of driving..
Haifoss
Haifoss is said to be the second tallest waterfall in Iceland at 122m tall (at least that was the case in July 2007). But encyclopedic facts aside, what really made this waterfall stand out…
Hjalparfoss
Hjalparfoss (“HYAL-par-foss”; meaning the “helping falls”) was a pretty unique double waterfall that joined at its base into a very large plunge pool surrounded by some rugged lava formations…
Thjofafoss
Thjofafoss (meaning “thieves falls”) was a wide and milky waterfall on the Þjórsá River beneath Mt Burfell. Even though this waterfall wasn’t tall, we thought its width, power, and juxtaposition…
Gjain Waterfalls
The Gjain Waterfalls (or Gjáin Waterfalls; I think is pronounced “GYAU-in”) merely pertain to the pair of falls that we noticed within the lush garden paradise nestled within a rift zone. While…
Waterfalls on the Skoga River
The waterfalls on the Skoga River are so numerous that it was almost overwhelming to me. Just to give you an idea of how waterfall saturated I was on this one hike alone, I counted…
Gljufurarfoss
Gljufurarfoss (Gljúfurárfoss; I think is pronounced “GLYOO-fir-owr-foss”) was a waterfall where I had to be content with obstructed views due to its rather hidden position behind a mini narrow slot…
AEgissufoss
AEgissufoss was a wide river-type waterfall that I found interesting because I was able to photograph it with Mt Hekla in the background. Mt Hekla was said to be one of the more active volcanoes…
Arbaejarfoss
Arbæjarfoss is one of those waterfalls I’m not sure if there’s an official way to visit it. The photograph above is the view we got when we didn’t think we would be trespassing…
