The Rhine Falls (Rheinfall) is a breathtaking stupendous beauty and the largest plain waterfall in Europe.
The falls are located on the High Rhine at Neuhausen am Rheinfall Village and just below Schaffhausen in the north of Switzerland. The Rhine’s waters flow at the rate of 23 meters over a breadth of 150 meters. The tub’s deepness is 13 meters and the average torrential is 600 m per second. Therefore, the visitors are offered a stunning view of the cascading waterfalls.
The world-famous Rhine Falls is around 15.000 years old. The reason behind the creation of this miracle was the tectonic shifts during the Ice age.
Due to the traditionally formed border between different countries, the Rhine was an inspiration for many impressive man-made structures such as castles or other fascinating buildings. However, for the most part, the natural attractiveness of the river overshadows such architectural works.
