The Rhine Falls are one of Switzerland's most iconic natural attractions. Located near the town of Schaffhausen, they are the largest waterfalls in Europe by water flow.
The Rhine River Falls is found on a stretch of the Rhine River known as the High Rhine. This is where the waters cascade down to a lower level, creating the picturesque Rhine Water Falls.
The falls are just a single drop waterfall, however with a width of 150 metres and a height of 23 metres, its size is impressive.
Visitors are blown away by the sheer power of the Rhine Falls, particularly during the summer, where the water flows at an impressive rate of 600,000 litres per second.
