This tour is definitely not worth the money-We were surprised when we found out our “private tour” was just us with a guide escorting us on public transportation - we literally paid 1000 to take an hour ride on the crowded train to see 75 ft falls . Our guide was nice but provided barely any historical context . The castle was not open and it just felt like 90percent of the tour we were killing time . We could easily have done this without a guide and learned more The falls were pretty

The Rhine Falls (Rheinfall in German), also known as Schaffhausen Falls, are the largest waterfalls in Europe. They are located in the upper part of the River Rhine, a short distance from the city of Schaffhausen in the north of Switzerland, near the German border.

Schon Imposant was da so an Wasser runterkommt und schoen ist es hier auch.Wer will kann mit einem Boot bis an die Wasserfaelle oder in der mitte aussteigen und eine Plattform hochlaufen, steht man mittendrin. Wer was anbietet weiss ich nicht also gut schauen. Vom Parkplatz aus kann man bis zur Burg hochlaufen wer will, Parkplatz nur mit Schweizer Franken oder eins zu eins mit Euro, passend bezahlen Wechselgeld kein Euro sondern Schweizer Franken!!!

Ci sono stato anni fa e si poteva visitare e parcheggiare liberamente. Ora.... una pura follia! Un vero e proprio furto legalizzato per vedere un paesaggio naturale che dovrebbe essere patrimonio comune. Tra ingresso e parcheggio per una visita di poche decine di minuti di una normale famiglia di passaggio riescono a spillarti 30-40 euro..... dei fenomeni! Sulla sponda nord ci siamo fermati con l'auto qualche minuto giusto il tempo di scattare qualche foto ed i bimbi hanno avuto la fortuna di conoscere "l'orco del reno", un abitante inospitale del loco che in tono perentorio ci ha ordinato.... RAUS.!! Cari svizzerotti.... Vi aspettiamo in Italia!

Imponenti cascate situate nei pressi di Neuhausen am Rheinfall, pare che siano le più estese d’Europa con una larghezza superiore ai cento metri per un’altezza di circa 23. Si parcheggia comodamente l’auto negli spazi riservati poco prima dell’ingresso (il biglietto costa 5 euro) che si raggiunge a piedi in pochi minuti. Una scala porta fino al livello dell’acqua da dove si possono prendere dei battelli a pagamento; a disposizione ci sono diverse combinazioni di tour con prezzi diversi. Altrimenti è possibile aggirare le cascate attraversando il ponte pedonale e facendo solo il giro a piedi. Nei pressi ci sono un paio di ristoranti non proprio economici. Conviene visitarle d’estate, quando la portata dell’acqua è al massimo, possibilmente in un giorno feriale. Il paesaggio circostante purtroppo non è dei migliori a causa dei numerosi palazzi costruiti nella città vicina.
