The Lower Grindelwald Glacier was once one of the largest glaciers in Switzerland, filling the entire valley down there👇 up to the trail from where I took this picture 😢. 
Here you can see how it looked in the 19th century and how it is today. In reality you can see the remains of the glacier gorge&valley, the sides of the valley are losing their stability due to the recession of the glacier, landslides are occurring.
The tongue of the glacier flowed through a narrow gorge that can still be visited today (the glacier can no longer be seen there.....). Unfortunately, today the glacier no longer fulfils its natural storage function (taking in water in winter and releasing it in summer/droughts).
From the Bäregghütte you can still see the sparse remains of the glacier today.😳
