Switzerland - Lauterbrunnen, the Staubbach
Coloured lantern slide of a view through the town of Lauterbrunnen. In the background is the Staubbach Falls. The waterfall drops about 300 metres from a hanging valley that ends in overhanging cliffs above the Lutschine River. The stream, on reaching the verge of the rocky walls of the valley, forms a cascade so high that it is almost lost in spray before it reaches the level of the valley. The height of the cascade is between 800 and 900 ft, one of the highest in Europe formed of a single unbroken fall.. Slide number 30 of Box 181 entitled Swiss No.1
