Escape the city for a scenic morning adventure to one of Switzerland’s most iconic natural wonders—Rhine Falls. Departing from Zurich, enjoy a relaxing drive through rolling vineyards and quaint farming villages before arriving at Laufen Castle, perched above Europe’s largest waterfall.

Explore the castle grounds and visit the Historama exhibition to learn about the site’s fascinating past. Then, make your way to the panoramic lift for sweeping views of the Rhine Falls. With an average of 700,000 liters of water per second cascading over a 150-meter-wide drop, the spectacle is both awe-inspiring and unforgettable.
Take a walk along the Belvedere panoramic trail to reach a viewing platform that puts you just above the roaring waters. In summer months, you can enhance your experience with an optional boat ride that brings you even closer to the falls—an exhilarating way to feel the spray and power up close.

On the return journey, enjoy a scenic drive through the charming town of Schaffhausen, with a glimpse of its 16th-century Munot Fortress, and pass briefly through Germany before arriving back in Zurich.
