Pura Maya and Brenda by Trail

We took about two hours on the trail to Murren - surely two of the most memorable hours that we have ever spent.From the beginning of the trail we got terrific views of the mountains, including the Eiger, Monch and Junfgfrau. They were almost completely snowclad and so bright that you could hardly look at them.

There was every variety of mountain scenery - green pastures dotted with flowers, green forest land with patches of snow, rushing streams with snow reaching to their edges, steep cliffs, and always the magnificent white mountain outline to our left across the narrow valley. June 5, 1967

The Eiger and the Monch

The Eiger, Monch and Junfgfrau were continually in view on the opposite side of the narrow Lauterbrunnen Valley as we walked along the trail on top of the cliff on our side. At this point you could see the glacier extending down the mountainside from one of the snowfields. June 5, 1967

House on Cliff Edge in Murren

The footpath we took from Grutchalp to Murren can be seen passing this house in the edge of the little village of Murren on the cliff edge.

Behind the house you can see the village of Wengen which is across the deep canyon on the eastern side of the Lauterbrunnen valley. June 5, 1967

South End of Lauterbrunnen Valley

From the village of Murren high on the western cliff side of the Lauterbrunnen valley, we got this view of the south end of the valley toward Stechelberg. June 5, 1967
