At 150 metres wide and 23 metres high, the Rhine Falls are Europe's largest waterfalls. The roar of up to 600,000 litres of water per second crashing over the rocks makes your eardrums throb.
There is some lovely walking in the romantic landscape around the falls, but the must-do experience is a boat trip to the rock that stands at the heart of the powerful masses of water. Once there, the captain moors the boat and you can climb out and ascend the rock. Trips run continuously all day from May to September.
Don't forget to wear sturdy footwear Because if you are going to spend your day hiking then you will probably need them.
