Description
Rhine Falls - Europe's Biggest Waterfall
Rhine Falls
Drive through picturesque landscape with gently rolling vineyards and charming farming villages to reach the splendid medieval Laufen Castle for the highlight of this morning tour: the mighty Rhine Falls! Enjoy about one hour at leisure to explore Europe’s biggest waterfall, which is one of Switzerland’s major tourist attractions.
Delight in unique views from the panoramic lift and see how an average of 700,000 litres of water per second plunge across a width of 150 meters into the basin below. Take a short stroll on the Belvedere panoramic trail to a viewing platform right above the falls where you feel the spindrift of the rumbling waters. Top off your visit with an optional boat ride (summer only) to get as close to the falls as possible – a truly memorable experience!
Visit the Historama exhibition at the mighty castle and learn more about the historical significance of the site. On the return journey, you pass the picturesque town of Schaffhausen with its towering Munot Fortress dating back to the 16th century. Continue through Germany for a short stretch before you arrive back in the city centre of Zurich.
