The Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen

The Rhine Falls are found in Schaffhausen, a city famous for its spectacular bridges, next to the German border. They are the largest falls in Europe and are part of Germany's most breathtaking natural tourist attractions.

Visitors are always awed by this natural wonder, with an average flow of 600 m³/s, 2/3 that of Niagara Falls in the US. Although the Rhine Falls are in Switzerland, visitors can still access this spectacular natural beauty easily from the German border.

Visitors to the Rhine Falls can experience standing high above the waterfall and listening to the vibration and roar of the waves. They can also experience beautiful boat rides to the Rhine Falls Basin, the nearby castles and the magnificent rock at the centre of the waterfall.
