Aegertenbach Falls Like Murrenbach Falls, this waterfall is pretty much a look-but-don't-touch affair as you can't get close to it, and it's pretty much a backdrop waterfalls. Usually, you can see this waterfall accompanied by either Staubbach Falls or Murrenbach Falls or sometimes by both! Perhaps that's why hardly anyone knows this waterfall's name unless you walk the 2km between Trummelbach Falls and the Talstation Schilthornbahn (i.e. cable car station going to Gimmelwald). We only learned of this waterfall's name because we saw a sign besides its watercourse giving us that information. Otherwise, this could've very easily blended in with the numerous other waterfalls that don't have a name (or at least one that we're not aware of) within Lauterbrunnen Valley. That sign also told us that it's 261m in height, and that apparently this stream was involved in the first use of electric lights within Lauterbrunnen Valley. Apparently, it was for wealthy British guests. For directions on how we got to Lauterbrunnen, see the Staubbach Falls page.
