Switzerland is truly a country of  wonderful waterfalls! The Swiss   Alps form one of Europe’s largest reservoir  for fresh water and thus, it is no surprise   that there must be plenty of waterfalls that  enchant anybody who is a nature enthusiast.   Having traveled through most of the  parts of this country this and last year,   I am proud to present you my Top 10 List for  the most beautiful waterfalls of Switzerland. Hello everyone! Welcome back to my channel  DjemoGraphic! Switzerland is a country full   of alluring waterfalls, just like this one here!  if you're new to my channel, my name is Djemo.   I'm a swiss traveler mostly posting videos about  Switzerland in Southeast Asia, if you like this   kind of content, then definitely you are right in  this channel here and you most welcome subscribe!   Before we're getting this video started, i would  like to acknowledge today's sponsors, which are   Grand Hotel Giessbach and the Rhyfallmändli  in Neuhausen. Alright! And now let's hop right   in with number 10; it's located in the canton  of Glarus and that would be the Berglistüber. This waterfall remains largely unnoticed. It  just lays by the road up to the Klausenpass.   The Klausen pass connects Glarus to the canton of  Uri. It is said to be one of Switzerland’s most   beautiful passroads. Just after the first  5 minutes driving up to the Klausenpass,   you need to make a stop, in order to visit  this natural gem called Berglistüber.   The waterfall is perfectly hidden and embedded  into a this wonderful raw piece of nature.   Recently this waterfall has received more  attention on social media, but yet it still   remains a secret tip. From the parking lot it  takes about 3 minutes to walk the trail until   you arrive at this amazing gem. The most stunning  about the Berglistüber is the cave right behind.   Thus, when arriving here you can pass behind  the waterfall and walk to the other side.   It’s a very unique experience to be  there; you definitely will feel the   chill from the cold alpine water and  hear the sound of the raging masses.   In a way, the Berglistüber has some similarities  with the Seljalandsfoss waterfall in Iceland,   just that it’s a lot smaller. On this top 10  list, this waterfall is the only one of its kind. Number nine is basically just nearby  and that would be the Diesbach waterfall Very nearby the Berglistüber,  down in the Linth Valley,   lays the Diesbachfall, which  impresses with its 4 stages.   From the parking lot its also only a 5 minutes’  walk up and one can enjoy this divine beauty.   The Diesbachfall is a great place for having a  picknick and furthermore is very family friendly. Number eight is in the Bernese Oberland  in the wonderful Simmental up in Lenk,   and that would be the Iffigfall. The Simmental is what people often  call Europe’s greenest valley.   it’s what I consider one of the most  underrated locations in Switzerland.   The valley charms with its raw appearance, unique  traditional houses and the many Simmental cattles.   The valley itself also hosts some fantastic  waterfalls, of which two can be found in Lenk.   One of them is the Iffigfall, a waterfall that  impresses with its height of approximately 200   meters. From the village of Lenk, it’s around  a 15 minutes’ drive up by car and then you will   have to walk for another 5 minutes to reach the  waterfall. First, you should get to see it from   the side and then hike down to the bridge to  watch it from below. Due to its immense height,   there will be a lot of spray and you surely will  feel the chill. If you have more time, consider   hiking up all the way from Lenk; it’s probably  going to be of an even much better experience! Should have enjoyed watching this video so far,  then, i would very much appreciate if you could   press that LIKE button. With that, you would give  me a lot of support and also if you're new to   my channel: Then, you're most welcome subscribe!  Alright, and now let's continue with number seven,   it's here in the Lauterbrunnen  Valley, where i'm standing right now,   it's this war fall behind me and  that would be the Staubbach Fall. This is something for Instagram enthusiasts!   I present you the most iconic cascade of the  valley of 72 waterfalls, the Staubbachfall.   The waterfall is very much admired, as it seem  to drop into the village of Lauterbrunnen.   This image and the entire valley with its many  waterfalls has inspired many famous people such   as Goethe, one of the most known German poets  or JRR Tokien the author of Lord of the Rings.   The waterfall has a total height of 297m, thus, it  belongs to the tallest waterfalls of Switzerland!   Definitely very nice is this photospot here in  the village, from where you can get a pretty view   over the Staubbachfall. Although this vista  is really pretty, it’s only one out of many   photospots from where you can a nice impression of  the Staubbachfall. I highly recommend to take this   5 minutes’ hike to enter the cave balcony behind  the waterfall. Watching the water droplets and the   cascade from very close is surely going to be  very impressive! The Staubbachfall can also be   seen from Wengen, that famous holiday village just  above Lauterbrunnen. Very nice is a hike down from   Wengen to Lauterbrunnen, where you will get  many beautiful impressions of the Staubbachfall.   However, my personal favorite experience  is, believe it or not, being up in Wengen   during rainy weather: Then, the impression of this  valley is going to be majestic! The Staubbachfall   and the Lauterbrunnen valley are definitely  a must visit when you come to Switzerland. With number six we're moving to the southern part   of switzerland and that would  be "La Cascada de Foroglio". Located in the canton of Ticino in the raw and  beautiful Val Bavona is this massive drop called   La Cascata de Foroglio. In order to visit the  waterfall, you will have to drive up to Foroglio,   which is considered one of the most  beautiful villages of Switzerland.   From the parking lot, it’s about a 5 minutes’ walk  to reach the bottom of the Foroglio waterfall.   Once arrived you will see how massive the  waterfall; it has a total height of 108 meters!   Thus, it’s not a big surprise why  it creates this much of spray.   You could also go for a swim in here, although  the water is usually very cold, roughly 12-15°C.   There is furthermore a Swing, which you should try  out; surely a great photospot! The waterfall has a   total height of 108 meters. Besides visiting  the waterfall, do not forget to explore the   village of Foroglio. It’s a very picturesque  town with plenty of traditional stone houses.   Also don’t miss this instagrammic hotspot here,  from where you have a great view to the waterfalls   with the pretty houses in the foreground. Should  you be on for some more walking, consider hiking   up a little bit, in order to get even closer  to the waterfall! You surely won’t regret it! we're number 5 i'm moving to the  upper half of this top 10 list of   the most beautiful waterfalls here  in Switzerland. This one is located   in the central part of this country in the  Schächental and that would be the Stäuber. This waterfall stands in one of  Switzerland’s most pristine landscapes.   In here everything seems to remain so raw, so  untouched. Some people even say that postcard   dreams will become true when visiting this  valley. Because of this, the Stäuber waterfall   indisputably ranks among the most beautiful  cascades of Switzerland. In order to visit,   you need to pass the village of Unterschächen and  head further up in direction of the Klausenpass.   Right in the first sharp curve you shall park  your car. From there, it’s only a 30 to 40 minutes   hike up to the waterfall. While the hike takes a  little bit of your time, it’s actually very easy!   Once getting closer, you will be enchanted  by the incredible beauty of this place:   Green hills, Cattles and traditional houses  that nicely complement this waterfall.   What more could you wish for? we're returning to the Bernese  Oberland to the Brienzersee region:   Number four would be the Giessbach Waterfalls. The Giessbachfalls do not only share a nearly  identical name as the Diessbachfalls but also   look surprisingly similar! The main difference:  The Giessbachfalls are way larger! They are   located in the Bernese Oberland at lake Brienz  and can either be reached by car or by boat.   When you travel by car, you will  arrive at the hotel Giessbach,   while when reaching by boat, you will  get access to the very bottom. There,   you can choose to either hike up or enter the  funicular, which will take you up to the hotel.   On the way, you will see the waterfalls from a  different perspective. On the other side, hiking   up is very nice too, especially when you will  be crossing this bridge at the bottom waterfall.   During your way up, you will realize this  waterfall is unlike any other. The Giessbachfalls   consist in total of 14 waterfalls, which is really  impressive! Having arrived at the Grand Hotel   Giessbach, you will have a fantastic view over  the many waterfalls, definitely a great place to   dine or having a tea. A highlight is the trail up,  on which you can pass the waterfall from behind,   similar to the Berglistüber. Quite a  highlight is the Grand Hotel itself,   which charms with its classy interior and  ambience. Having taken my dinner in here was   one of my most beautiful experiences; especially  with this fantastic view over the waterfalls!   The food is very local and seasonal; it was  really delicious! Pretty much everything in   the hotel was fantastic but nothing was better  than the night view from the bedrooms balcony!   All in all, very romantic spot, unique 19th  century atmosphere and surely unforgettable! We're now heading up to the podium. It's  again here in the Lauterbrunnen Valley.   However, it's further up into this direction:  number three goes to the Trümmelbach Waterfalls. This waterfall is probably the most  unique one among all of this top 10 list.   This is not the kind of waterfall that you  would be able to enjoy seeing from far.   Instead you will be squeezed in between  the rocks to watch these raging waters.   There are 10 waterfalls over  a total height of 140 meters.   Thus, when visiting this tourist attraction,  you will have to climb a couple of stairs.   However, you can take a shortcut by using the  lift, which allows you to skip roughly 100 meters.   The Trümmelbach is predominantly composed of  the water coming from the melting glaciers of   the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. When being there,  you really will get to feel how raging the creek   is. Between the rocks the noise level is very  high, making it very impressive to listen the   roaring masses. Just to give you an idea of how  raging the Trümmelbach is: The waterfalls carry   a 20’000 liters per second! The Trümmelbachfalls  are part of the 72 waterfalls of the Lauterbrunnen   valley and also hold the title of being  Europe’s largest subterranean waterfall. For one last time we're staying  in a Bernese Oberland. I know,   I just can't help it, but there are too  many beautiful waterfalls in this region!   However we are changing the  valley back to the Simmental.   For this, we're returning up to Lenk. Number  two goes the beautiful Siebenbrunnen Waterfalls. Number 2 is a waterfall that most of you might  never heard of before and I am actually really   happy to present you the Siebenbrunnen as the  second most beautiful waterfall of Switzerland.   Similar to the previous two, the Simmenfalls  consist of a couple of waterfalls,   of which the Siebenbrunnen is the uppermost one.  From the parking lot at Lenk, you will have to   hike up for about 40 minutes. The trail can be a  bit steep at times. I think because of this, the   Siebenbrunnen remained rather unknown and probably  it won’t ever become a victim of masstourism…   which is absolutely fine! On your hike up,  you always can take a short break in between,   as you will be spotting various beautiful bits.  Thus, make sure you spend enough time for your   visit to the Simmenfalls, as there will be  a lot to discover! Once arrived at the top,   you will have to cross this cow field and then you  will finally reach the Siebenbrunnen waterfall.   As you will see, it’s a highly branched waterfall,  which gives it a very beautiful appearance.   All in all, one of the most enjoyable  water trails to hike along in Switzerland   and surely a great way to destress  and refuel yourself with energy! And before i'm revealing you the  number one waterfall in switzerland,   here are a few top honorable mentions: "Pisse  Vache" in the canton of Valais, the well of   peace as i like to call it and very nearby the  underground waterfall at the "Grotte aux Fées",   the Mürrenbach Falls here at the lauterbrunnen  valley, the waterfalls at the Schöllenenschlucht,   the Fellbach waterfall near Saas Fee  and "La Froda" in the Valle Verzasca. And now, i present you the number one  most beautiful waterfall of Switzerland:   I'm pretty sure, if you are a little  bit familiar with this country,   you may have been waiting to hear this name:  Number one goes to the amazing Rhinefalls. Different from all the other ones on this  list, the Rhinefall is very unique, as it   is a river waterfall. Because of its majestic  appearance, it is often considered as one of the   landmarks of Switzerland! The Rinefalls are shared  between the cantons of Schaffhausen and Zürich.   On both sides there are train stations,  which offer easy access to the waterfall.   From the canton of Schaffhausen, you will get  a perfect frontal view over the Rheinfalls,   while from the side of Zürich at  Laufen, you can get very close to it.   Both impressions are different and thus, I  highly recommend you to visit both sides!   A must-do when visiting the  Rhinefalls is going for a boat ride.   There are various rides that you can take,  which are operated by the Rhyfallmändli,   the sponsor of this part. Enter the red  boat to cross over to the canton of Zürich,   the blue one for a 15 minutes’ cruise  that closely approaches the waterfall,   pink for a 30 minutes’ cruise or if you really  wanna go all in, then go for the yellow boat   that takes you to the rock. As you are climbing  the stairs and reaching the top, you will be   standing just in the middle of the waterfall!  Where else can you do something like this?   Consider crossing the Rhine with the red boat  to access the side of the canton of Zürich.   For 5.- CHF, you may purchase a ticket  that grants you access to the trail with   the many platforms and the castle called  Schloss Laufen. Then, I recommend you to   walk over the bridge that takes you back to the  canton of Schaffhausen. It’s a very panoramic   walk that provides you many impressions of  the waterfall from different perspectives.   Very nice is also a visit during night, as  the waterfall is lit up in different colors.   Last: The Rhinefalls are the  tallest river waterfalls of Europe,   although the height is only 23m, which may be  nothing compared to Victoriafalls or Niagara   but still with all the amount of water  clashing here it definitely is not any less   impressive! What else? By the upper parking  lot, you can try out the Adventure Park;   one of the best of its kind. There are  many obstacles you will have to overcome   as well as panoramic zip lines that provide  you a breathtaking view over the Rhinefalls.   Very nice is also going for  dinner at the Schlössli Wörth.   The restaurant is a great place to spend a  romantic evening and try delicious dishes! So these were the Top 10 most beautiful  waterfalls of Switzerland. I hope you've   enjoyed watching this video. Let me know, whether  you agree or disagree with this Top 10 list.   I'm also on for new suggestions, maybe  there are some waterfalls I didn't know,   so please leave a comment below; it would be  really great.
