Europe’s largest waterfalls are in the Rhine River (Rhein) near the town Schaffhausen on the Swiss-German border. The Rhine Falls (Rheinfall) area is a very popular day-trip destination from Zurich and the Lake Constance (Bodensee) region with endless bus parties arriving throughout the day. Arriving early is the best option to enjoy the falls and surrounding countryside in relative peace. Restaurants, boat trips, souvenir shops, and various “experiences” are available to enhance the pleasure of visiting Europe’s largest waterfalls but it is also very easy to enjoy the area completely for free.
At Rheinfall, the Rhine River falls 23 m over the full 150-m width of the river. Other Swiss waterfalls are higher and more spectacularly beautiful but the Rhine Falls remains Europe’s largest and most powerful waterfalls.
The water flow at the Rhine waterfalls ranges from around 600,000 liter per second in summer to 250,000 liter per second in winter. The power of the water has been utilized for industrial use since at least the eleventh century with hydroelectric power generation in operation since the nineteenth century. The abundance of cheap energy vastly contributed to the early development of aluminum production.
Visiting the Rhine Falls in Switzerland
As one of the most popular tourist destinations in Northern Switzerland, the Rhine falls offer the full range of visitors’ facilities that can be expected of a site popular with day-trippers and bus parties. Various restaurants and souvenir shops sporting endless trinkets with the red-and-white Swiss flag are available on either side of the river.
Visitors can enjoy several boat excursion trips: simply cross the Rhine River, cruise closer to the waterfalls, or most spectacularly to land on a small rocky outcrop right in the middle of the falls. Sights-and-sounds boat trips with commentary are also available, although some may find the promise of commentary in up to nine languages somewhat off putting. Boats usually operate from April to October with most boats departing from the right bank (Schlössli Wörth Castle) of the Rhine River.
