Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland

The beauty of the Lauterbrunnen Valley is really breath taking, it's many waterfalls, the sound of the cow bells going off in the distance as the local cows slowly wonder out and about the hills and tulip filled valleys, and the beauty of the snowcapped peaks staring down at you. If you are brave you can go Paragliding off some of those peaks, or if you are not that brave you can take a gondola ride up and hike your way down on a glorious sunny day, like I did. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the Trummelbach, which is a waterfall that has eroded it's way into a mountain.  If you are a nature lover you shouldn't miss this place.
It has been said that the beauty of this valley was the inspiration for  J.R.R. Tolkien , Lord of the Rings Rivendell Valley.
