Rhine Fall in Switzerland

The Rhine Fall in Switzerland is one of the three largest waterfalls in Europe. It has a height of 23 meters and a width of 150 meters. With a normal water supply, about 400 cubic meters of water per second fall over the rocks.

On both sides of the Rhine you can reach viewing platforms with a spectacular view of the Rhine Fall. At the Rhine Fall‘s basin in Neuhausen (canton Schaffhausen) lies the castle Wörth. From there you can reach the middle rock of the Rhine Fall with a small boat and marvel at the falling mass of water after ascending the viewing platform on this rock via small steps. On the Zurich side you can reach the viewing platforms over the castle Laufen. There is ample parking for the visitors and the visit is chargeable.

Auf beiden Seiten des Rheins erreichen Sie Aussichtsplattformen mit einem spektakulären Blick auf den Rheinfall. Am Rheinfallbecken in Neuhausen (Kanton Schaffhausen) liegt das Schloss Wörth. Von dort aus kann man mit kleinen Booten den mittleren Felsen des Rheinfalls erreichen und, nach dem Aufstieg über kleine Stufen, die fallenden Wassermassen bestaunen. Auf der Zürcher Seite gelangt man zu den Aussichtsplattformen über die Burg Laufen. Es gibt genügend Parkplätze für die Besucher und der Besuch ist kostenpflichtig.
