Waterfalls

Near Schaffhausen the Rhine River offers visitors the glorious spectacle of the largest waterfall in Europe. At a width of 150 m and a height of 23 m, an average of 700 m3 of water rushes over the cliffs each second.

The Trient river, which rose from the glacier of the same name, gouged the 200 metre-deep gorge in the rocks. A bridge built in 1934 connects the 187 metre-high walls on either side of the river, and a path has been constructed along the river itself, turning the area into a real paradise for climbers and botanists.

The Serenbach Falls at the northern shore of Lake Walen are some of Switzerland's highest and most impressive waterfalls. From an altitude of 600 meters they plummet into the lake.
