from interlaken ost or winderswil ..
now remember that the train first half goes to Lauterbrunnen and the second half goes to Grindelwald ! and we have to goto Grindelwald(since we have decided to have a round trip) … no worries .. in case u r in the wrong half of train .. at Zweilutschinen railway stop these trains gets separated .. so u can get down and goto other half as u wish …so we have selected to goto Grindelwald route .. from where u will goto Kleine Scheidegg .. now this is the point where the other route train will also arrive .. so this is junction point to goto the top of europe …
from Kleine Scheidegg .. u get to see the famous RED colour Jungfrau train … this is last train change for u to goto top of europe .. now the most important point to remember is sit in RIGHT hand side window seat on the way up so as to get magnificent views 🙂
now on the way back you will reach the same station from where u hv to get train to Lauterbrunnen(so we are selecting other route to get down to Interlaken) .. get down at Lauterbrunnen and then catch a bus to Trummelbach waterfalls … remember that they get closed in evening 6 pm or so .. hence i was not able to visit them … so goto top of europe early morning and while comingn back goto these waterfalls … again come back to the railway station and continue ur travel to interlaken ost or west as per ur wish ..
now remember that this view from Sphinx Terrace .. on clear sunny days u can even see the Vosges in France and Germany’s black forest !
from Sphinx Terrace u can see the bottom station point .. where ant like dots are people playing snow, skiing, walking all around .. this given an idea of the height difference .. and this height u can reach in the Switzerland’s fastest lift which takes u this top point in mere 27 seconds ..
I recommend that one day to spend on top of europe and second day for the Trummelbach waterfalls, it is possible to do both in a day but then u can not spend sufficient time then on top of europe .. u decide .. but if u wish to complete in a day then catch the first train early morning .. i think from 5 am .. check at the station for timings …
hope this helps .. before start of the tour from India .. i searched a hell for understanding the map .. and deciding the trail .. but now i think i have clearly spelled out for u the round trip path including waterfalls 🙂
hope this help 🙂
cheers !!
