geography

course

The Sefinen Lütschine rises from a small firn at around 1980  m above sea level. M. on the eastern slope of the Jegihoren .

At Firten flows at about 1420  m above sea level. M. the similarly large Sefibach from the left to. It continues through the Sefinental to 1200  m above sea level from the left . M. the Schiltbach flows into. Then it moves on through the valley below Gimmelwald . On the last kilometer, the Sefinen Lütschine overcomes an altitude difference of 250 meters and reaches the Lauterbrunnen valley . The Sefinenfall is also located there .

Finally it flows into the vicinity of Rütti at 893  m above sea level. M. from the left into the Weisse Lütschine.
