Water Falls, Gorges, Glaciers and more!

You name it, and Switzerland's got it. On Sunday, we went to see two places in the Berner Oberland area. First up was a St. Beatus Hohlen. This is a cave located near Interlaken and lake Thun. People friendly passages allow easy viewing of waterfalls, streams, stalagmites and stalactites too! We had a guided tour with about forty of our closest friends. It was our first cave experience in Switzerland, and well worth the trip. Next up was a gorge that was thirty miles down the road in Rosenlaui. After driving up extremely narrow and steep roads (5 miles), we finally reached the gorge. It's really amazing to see how much water the melting snow, ice and glaciers can send down the mountain. A convenient walk (uphill) provides an excellent view to where thousands of years of running water has created an amazing cut through the mountain (see video). The sound of the powerful water makes it difficult to have a conversation with a person standing next to you. It was truly a beautiful sight. You can see pictures from the cave here, and pictures from the gorge here.
