A hundred thousand tigers roaring in unison. That’s how the Rheinfall, crashing down at 237,720 liters per second, sounds like up-close. At one lookout point, one gets to stand within reach of this magnificent body of cascading water. Awe makes you forget about the cold and getting wet in the rising sprays.
At the snack bistro near the ticket counter, canned Rheinfall water is for sale. It’s not directly scooped from the gushing river but from a nearby pumping station. So, technically, it’s the same water. “Best of Switzerland” tour guide Anna-Liese Joss calls it clever marketing.
