Why Rhine Falls matters
The Rhine Falls are not very high, but the volume of water is huge, and the roar and spray are impressive. Viewing platforms and boat trips get you near the rock in the middle. It is an easy day trip from Zurich.
Talking points
- Boats take you to the central rock.
- Viewing platforms let you feel the spray.
- A castle overlooks the falls.
