Lauterbrunnen is a municipality in the Interlaken district of the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. The name Lauterbrunnen is a combination of lauter meaning clear or bright, and brunnen meaning spring. The Lauterbrunnen valley is also known for the Staubbach Falls mentioned in Goethe's poem Gesang der Geister über den Wassern (literal translation: song of the spirits above the waters).
