Rhine Falls

 
The Rhine Falls (Rheinfall) at Schaffhausen, the mightiest falls in Central Europe, surge over a ledge of Jurassic limestone 150 m/492ft across and between 15 and 21 m/49 and 69ft high, with two higher rocks standing in the middle of the river. The flow of water is at its greatest in June and July, after the melting of mountain snow.

The falls can be reached from Schaffhausen on either side of the river. To reach the north side, leave Schaffhausen by way of Mühlenstrasse and road 4, which runs southwest to Neuhausen.
