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.
