Home to the Rhine Falls, Europe's largest waterfall by volume — a 150m-wide curtain of water thundering 23m into the gorge. Boat rides take visitors to the rock in the middle of the falls. Beyond this natural spectacle, Schaffhausen's old town features 171 oriel bay windows, beautifully painted Renaissance façades, and the circular Munot fortress overlooking the Rhine.
