The Rhine Falls unleash their primal force here: A mighty mass of water plunges over a wide rock edge, transforming the riverbed into a frothing sea. The spray rises like a misty wall, above which the wooded banks rise steeply. Downstream, the waves slowly calm, the water continues in glittering streaks, before it takes on the shape of the Rhine again in the distance. The narrowness of the valley intensifies the roaring spectacle and inevitably directs the gaze to the falling waters, which shape the entire landscape experience.
