Visiting the Rhine falls (Rheinfall), one of the three largest waterfalls in Europe is an absolute must when visiting Switzerland. Located just south of the Border to Germany, the waterfall is located at the border of Schaffhausen and Zürich. This waterfall in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, should be at the top of your list when visiting Switzerland.
Rhine fall boat rides are almost a must during this experience. Standing on the rock in the middle of the rhine falls is the best way to experience the full power of the rhine fall.
Boat ride tickets can be baught on both sides of the river and cruises to the rock are 20 CHF a person, including transfers across the river.
A short boat tour not stopping at the rock is 8 CHF.
We recommend visiting in cloudy weather in the morning, to make the most out of your stay on the rock.
Entrace to the viewing platforms next to castle Laufen (Schloss Laufen) are 5 CHF a person. Parking is available on both sides of the river, as are train connections.
Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall and Neuhausen am Rheinfall are the destination stations to reach the waterfall. Reaching the rhine falls from Zurich, you will have the choice between both stations.
If you don't want to pay for the crossing by boat, you can also walk between the two sides of the river, crossing over the train bridge. The bridge also offers a unique view from the upper end of the rhine falls.
The rhine falls in winter will carry a lot less whater than the rhine falls carry in summer.
