FollowThis afternoon we caught the train down to Lauterbrunnen and set off along the river down the valley. We pass the little hydro station, and its neighbour, the aptly named chalet Elektra.
About halfway along the path we come to the picturesque hamlet of Sandweidli. There’s no station here, and it isn’t mentioned on the timetable, but the train will stop here on request.
The water in the river is a sort of milky white, meaning it is melted glacier ice. This is bad news for the glaciers, as they shouldn’t really be melting so early in the year.
Eventually we arrive at Zweilütschinen, which literally means ‘two rivers’. The river in our valley and the one that runs down Grindelwald’s valley meet here.
