Alpine Tranquility

Located in Switzerland at an altitude of 2100 meters, Lake Fallboden (Fallbodensee) is a man-made lake. It provides beautiful views of the Eiger and Mönch mountains. The chapel-like building on the shore is a memorial hall honoring the famous route of the first ascent of the Eiger.

 

To mark the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Jungfrau Railway, the ‘Eiger Walk’ was established as an easy hiking route that follows the rail line from the Eiger Glacier via Lake Fallboden to Kleine Scheidegg. It is a popular route that leads through stunning alpine scenery and the tranquil lakeshore provides a nice resting place for tired feet.
