Impressive natural spectacle

Standing on one of the viewing platforms opens up new perspectives. Just beneath you, the roaring water thunders over the Rhine Falls cliffs, the spray foams and you hear the thundering and rumbling of Europe’s largest waterfall. The Belvedere viewing platform is conveniently reached along the panoramic trail (wheelchair and stroller accessible). The Känzeli and Fischnetz viewing platforms, however, are only accessible via steps. Our tip: take the panoramic lift to return to the visitor centre. The view from the lift is extraordinary.

The rock in the middle of the falls is the highlight of the Rhine Falls, which is illuminated every day after sunset (not during fullmoon and the following day). Let yourself bewitched by the magic of the Rhine Falls.

Further highlights along the Zurich and Schaffhausen region legs of the tour.

Small but mighty! The miniature world at the Rhine Falls!

Adults and children will find mountains up to 6 meters high, castles and palaces, rivers and fields in the impressive miniature world of Smilestones on more than 250 square meters of layout area. Around 23,000 miniature people live in their miniature wonderland with 12,000 little trees, over 100 trains in H0 gauge and many self-driving cars. Embedded in Swiss destinations such as the Alpstein region, the Bernese Oberland or the Rhine Falls, there is much to marvel at and smile about. The modeled landscape resembles a three-dimensional hidden object picture, full of many small scenes with funny details. Binoculars are ready for exciting voyages of discovery. Over 50 action buttons liven up the miniature world even more.
