Situated along the Rhine, near the town of Schaffhausen, Rheinfall is the largest waterfall in Europe. Although the drop is relatively small at only 23m, the volume of water cascading over the falls is immense, thundering past at quite a volume.

The most impressive falls in the Lauterbrunnen Valley are at Trummelbach - a ten tier waterfall almost entirely within the mountain cliff, carved out by glacier meltwater.
