The Rhine Falls

The Rhine Falls, the largest Falls in Europe, offer the visitor a spectacular sight!

17,000 years ago this impressive wonder of nature was formed and is now the main attraction for countless visitors from all over the world.

Over a width of 150 metres and a height of 23 metres, an average of 700,000 litres of water cascade over the rocks every second. A boat ride to the famous rock in the middle of the Falls and the short walk to the top, is an unforgettable experience for every visitor.
