left bank of the torrent. From below, the appearance of the fall is very striking,* though, perhaps, not very pic turesque ; the river tumbles over ledges of rock in a cascade, extending at least a thousand feet, and presenting from every point of view a remarkable and beautiful scene. About an hour’s walk below the fall, the traveller reaches Fructval,f where he can obtain refreshment, and better accommodation than at Formazza, though this is a larger place, and boasts of possessing an inn

reaches Guttanen, the last village where there is an inn in the ascent to the Grimsel. From Guttanen the diffi culty of the road and the sterility of the valley increase. The Aar is twice crossed before reaching Handek, .where a few chalets are established amidst glaciers and cataracts, and scenes the most stupendous, savage, and dreary.^ At a short distance from the chalets is the great fall of the Aar, where other torrents joining it at the head of the " hell of waters,” they fall together with

a horrible fracas into a deep gulf, which the traveller can overhang from some projecting rocks above, but the base is concealed from him by the mist in the basin which receives the torrents. Deep in the ravine the Aar is seen to pass on, a mere line, amidst the rocks that confine it: beyond lies the distant valley and the mountains which bound the horizon.f The fall can be seen from below at a station where less sense of danger is excited, but the effect of the scene is not so striking as from the head

bound the Pass of the Scheidegg; the Wetterhorn, and the Eiger. When pointed out by the guide, the traveller may perceive the fall of the Reichenbach, descending from the Scheidegg, which, though actually of great height, and often a large mass of water, for ms , from this spot, so mere a speck in the mag nitude of the surrounding objects, as to create a doubt of its identity. Meyringen, the chief town of the valley of Hasli, is a place of much resort to Alpine travellers ; situated at the bases

of the Scheidegg and the Brunig, and at the entrance to the Oberhasli, which leads to the Grimsel, it is, during summer, the point whence various excursions commence, or where many terminate ; and it possesses for these the comforts and advantages of an excellent inn. The fine fall of the Reichenbach, on the side of the valley opposite to Meyringen, and those of the Alpnach and other torrents which descend into the Hash, give to this neighbour hood a deserved celebrity amongst the picturesque

granite of such enormous magnitude, that upon one of these the ruins of a feudal castle remain ; and upon several, forest trees are growing. In one place, hear a bridge which leads by a path to the left bank of the river, the road passes be tween two of these great masses of granite.* The ruins of. a village which had been destroyed by a mountain-fall, lies near the road, amidst the débris which overwhelmed it. The character of wildness and confusion produced by the blocks which strew the

valley, between which the mule winds its way, scarcely prepares the traveller for the fearful emotion excited-by a vast, smooth, and unbroken face of granite, which, rising 400 or 500 feet, in one place actually overhangs the road. From the top a large tabular mass projects many feet> of which the plane under side is seen from below, threatening- one day to fall from its present apparently insecure station. Pines are growing on its upper surface, and the increasing weight of these will perhaps hasten

the projecting rocks, or constructed in masonryf : these guard the traveller from the avalanches which fall from the mountains across the path, or protect him from the precipices which skirt the road through this fearful passage. There are six covered ways, formed either by masonry or excavation, in the ravine ; and the extent of the road thus sheltered is 2226 English feet: in some places, however, the road is so cut out of the side of the rocks, where their stability could be relied upon, that

, without entirely covering the road, they shelter it from the avalanches which, after sliding over the impending rocks, which are left to guard the passage, fall into the ravine below: in this manner nearly 700 feet more of guarded way have been added to the galleries within the * Coxe, wlio passed through the ’Wurmser-loch in 1779, speaks, in his seventy-third letter, in strong language of the horrors of this scene: the appearance of nature here has scarcely been altered since by the operations

the picturesque valley of the Larnmer. By taking a foot-path a little longer than the char-road, the Bichelfall, a cascade formed by a small tributary of the hammer, may be visited, It is là hrs. walk from Abtenan, and 3 from G oiling. Like all the other torrents qf this forest-clad district, it is used to float down the timber cut on the moun tains through which it passes. The wood that adheres to the rock, and sticks by the way in passing the fall, is set at liberty by a woodman, armed with

an axe, suspended by a rope from the height above — a perilous trade. (§ 111.) The path also passes some curious cavities formed by the fall of masses of rock, similar and perhaps equal to the Oefen (p. 248). The valley of the hammer is pic turesque and very solitary-, few houses are passed between Abtenan and Coi ling, between which place and the Oefen, on the road from Salzburg to Gastem (Etc. 200), our path falls into the valley of the Salza. The pedestrian may cross the moun tains
