Wow, what a great visit I had to the Rhein Falls! They are such a dramatic centrepiece for the city of Schaffhausen. There's a convenient car park from which to walk down and view the falls. For those of a more adrenaline charged nature there is a boat you can take to the central rock formation, around which the falls cascade, from where you can climb up to obtain a watersplashed close-up!
Whilst we were there, we had a rather surreal experience when a stream of wackily decorated cars (and strangely garbed occupants) descended on the area. Apparently they had driven from the UK on a fund-raising road trip in aid of Tommy's, a charity funding research into stillbirth, premature birth and miscarriage. They were en route to Italy but had a number of required check-in points, one of which was at the waterfalls in Schaffhausen. Sadly my camera battery had just given up, otherwise I'd have taken photos to share here of the Blues Brothers, Batman and Robin, the Smurfs and all the others with their crazy vehicles...
