Rhine Falls from Zurich

One of the legends of this region tells us: once upon a time, high mountains stood in the way of the young Rhine, in the places where he decided to make his way. Having rested and gained strength in a deep lake, he rushed with renewed vigour to the stone barrier. Water won and now for many centuries people admire the power of the water element. Powerful whirlpools, hundreds of tiny splashes, crowned with a rainbow crown - the waterfall can be seen from various sites, - choosing the most impressive angle for you. If you have enough time, you can also take a boat ride. Confident captains steer the ship straight into the powerful stream near the high cliffs. The medieval fortress of Munot rises above the tiled roofs of the strictly urban Schaffhausen. The oldest buildings in the town, decorated with frescoes and striking bay windows, date back to the late Gothic period, while St. John's Church, visible from afar, was built as early as the 11th century.
