500px provided description: An alpine-style building below Staubbach Falls in the beautiful Lauterbrunnen Valley. This u-shaped valley, ending at the Breithorn mountain, features (reportedly) 72 waterfalls and is supposedly an inspiration for the Elven land of Rivendells in The Lord of the Rings. J.R.R. Tolkien hiked through this valley in 1911 and was reportedly awestruck.
