  • The Rhine Falls (Rheinfall in German) is the largest-volume waterfall in Europe. The falls are on the High Rhine between the municipalities of Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Laufen-Uhwiesen, near the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland, between the cantons of Schaffhausen and Zürich. Rhine Falls are 150 m (450 ft) wide and 23 m (75 ft) high. Winter average water flow is 250 cubic meters per second; while summer averages 700 cubic meters per second. The highest flow ever measured was 1250 cubic meters per second, in 1965; and the lowest, 95 cubic meters per second, in 1921. Rheinfall formed in the last ice age, about 14,000 to 17,000 years ago, by erosion-resistant rocks narrowing the riverbed.

  • Laufen Castle (German: Schloss Laufen) overlooks Rhine Falls (Rheinfall), the largest-volume waterfall in Europe. Laufen Castle is in the municipality of Laufen-Uhwiesen in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. In 858 the castle was the home of the Barons of Laufen.
