Private half-day tour from Zurich to the Rhine Europe’s largest waterfalls
The visit to Rhine Falls is the most famous highlight for travelers to this region of Switzerland. Small boats run between the two shores and take tourists directly to a cloud of mist above the seething water, or to a jetty with a ladder leading up to a cliff just above the falls. Rhine Falls is considered the largest flat waterfall in Europe. One of the German poets wrote about Rhine Falls: "Oh, traveler, be careful and hold your heart tightly in your hands - I almost lost mine from the joy of contemplating the powerful play of huge masses falling and breaking the surface of the water."
