Switzerland - Schaffhausen, Rhine Falls

The Rhine Falls is one of the most impressive and powerful waterfalls in Europe. The falls have a width of 150 meters and are ‘just’ 23 meters high. The capacity of flow is in summer about 600.000 liters per second and in winter about 250.000 liters.

The Rhine Falls were formed 15.000 years ago - in the last ice age - by erosion-resistant rocks narrowing the riverbed, forcing the Rhine River into a new riverbed.

The Rhine Falls Rock (Rheinfall Felsen) - a mighty rock in the midst of the falls - offers one of the most spectacular views. This rock can be reached by boat.

What a fantastic location................I've never heard of these falls before..!!

Your photo is just breathtakingly beautiful.............you've captured the might and power of the water perfectly. The house overlooking the falls is just beautiful.......and what a magnificent view they must have from there.

Stunning views in the PiPs as well, especially the one with the boat! That must be a rollercoaster of a boat trip!

Awesome work my friend! HFF to you and have a super weekend.

Such a beautiful, churning view of these unique waterfalls. The gorgeous color of the water, the mist, it's quite a sight.Seeing the house up above makes me think about the view from that vantage point too, though I'm sure it can't be as dramatic. Super insets too, it's great to see from different angles. Thanks too for the info, I would love to see this place some day. :)
