One of the most popular rivers in Switzerland, Rhine breaks into a falls near the town of Neuhausen. The fall is over 20 meters high and 150 meters wide, making it massive with breathtaking scenery and a huge attraction for tourists. Best visited in the months of May and June, there are also boats that take you closer to the falls and especially the stone at the center. It takes around half an hour to visit the stone and boats are available in the months of April through October. As much as the water is roaring with vibes, it is equally pleasant to watch the water in all its might flowing through the amazing landscape of Zurich.
