Blue walking net, Gletscherschlucht, White Lütschine river gorge, Grindelwald, Switzerland, Europe.

Walk across a blue net suspended over the White Lütschine river gorge, in the Gletscherschlucht of Grindelwald, Switzerland, Europe. Walk boardwalks and tunnels through the dramatic Gletscherschlucht, a deep gorge of the White Lütschine river, flowing from Lower Grindelwald Glacier. From Gletscherschlucht hotel restaurant in Grindelwald, a wooden walkway leads over raging water, through galleries and rocky tunnels over 1000 meters into the ravine, under 100-meter high cliffs. Visitors can amble on a blue net over the foaming torrent. Walk there in 35 minutes from the center of Grindelwald, or take the bus. The tongue of Lower Grindelwald Glacier last extended through Gletscherschlucht gorge in 1855 and has receded very rapidly, melting back more than 3.75 kilometers as of 2014. Consistent with a pattern global warming, the glacier may entirely disappear by 2100.
