ラウフェンウーヴィーゼンの滝・トップ17

Lots of adventure options, but not cheap and very overcrowded on nice weekends.

The Rhine Falls, formerly also called the Great Laufen, is one of the three largest waterfalls in Europe.

A truly impressive waterfall! 🌊👍 There are many different viewpoints and vantage points – absolutely breathtaking! 🙂 We had rather chilly, rainy weather in May 2023, but luckily we had excellent weatherproof clothing. 🙃 It was a fantastic experience at the start of our 2023 Rhine cycling tour! 👌

For more than 1100 years, Laufen Castle at the Rhine Falls has witnessed many social and political upheavals. Not infrequently, due to its privileged location, it was itself the focus of disputes. 858: first mention The Rhine Falls - at that time "big Lauffen" - gives the castle its name. The ancestral seat of the Barons of Laufen subsequently had many owners, including the Bishop of Constance, the All Saints Monastery in Schaffhausen and the Counts of Kyburg.

On the rock trip No. 1 Yellow Line you can experience the Rhine Falls from a unique perspective. The ship takes you to the heart of the Rhine Falls, the mighty central rock. During a 20-minute stop there you have the opportunity to climb the more than 100 steps to the 30-meter-high viewing platform. The climb is worth it, once you reach the top you are rewarded with a unique 360-degree view of the Rhine Falls. On the return trip to the harbor there is another incomparable photo backdrop!

It is impressive how much water is constantly coming down there. A great natural spectacle.

At 23 meters high and 150 meters wide, the Rhine Falls is one of the largest and most water-rich waterfalls in Europe.
