Rivendell visited

I have been able to visit this beautiful corner of Switzerland three different times over the past 20 years and it is definitely easy to see how these mountains, valleys and waterfalls inspired Tolkien in many ways.

Lauterbrunnen Valley is one of the most beautiful and peaceful mountain valleys I have seen. I have grown up in a mountainous region and the mountains were my backyard but the Bernese Mountains of Switzerland are by far the most beautiful I have ever seen.

Here is just one of many photos from my most recent trip there. You can definitely imagine the company of 13 dwarves, 1 wizard and 1 hobbit making their way down the mountainside and into this valley.



Makes me want to go back again!
