Der Rheinfall, The Rhine Falls
Yesterday, November 16, 2006, we went to Neuhausen in Schaffhausen to see “Der Rheinfall”. Rheinfall is the largest waterfall in Europe. The Rhine Falls are the largest plain waterfalls in Europe. Rheinfall and Rhine Falls are one and the same. Rheinfall, in German language, is singular and masculine unlike the Rhine Falls.
We arrived just after 12 noon and parked the car outside the Laufen Castle or “Schloss Laufen”. We were hungry already but wanted to see the Rhine Falls first, so off we go and enjoy the sight of the waterfalls despite the fog. It was great seeing “Der Rheinfall”.
After taking pictures, we ate lunch at the “Restaurant Schloss Laufen”, hoping that after our meal, we will be able to see the Rhine Falls once more with a better view.
Just before we left, we thought of seeing the “Rheinfall” again. It was great this time, there was still some fog but clearer than when we saw it before we had our lunch. It probably took 10-20 minutes when it became so foggy again. Fantastic! We saw the “Rheinfall” in one of its best.
We left the place at past 3:00 pm and went to St. Gallen. It took us at least 55 minutes from where the “Rheinfall” is located to St. Gallen, just to see the St. Gall or “St. Gallen” Cathedral.
The St. Gall Cathedral with the abbey was declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in 1983.

Do you sell your trip information as a travel guide in Switzerland so that other Swiss-Filipinos can use it to entertain their guests? You could call it the Swiss-Filipino Travel Guide - How to entertain one’s guests, hehehe…

Hello cheH!
Maganda talaga yong Rheinfall lalo nat maraming tubig ngayon. Yon nga lang super foggy naman. Buti na lang, nabigyan kami ng chance na makita siya a little bit clearer. Sige punta kayo rito pag malaki-laki na yang baby mo at pag na-a-appreciate na niya ang biyahe-biyahe niyo. Mas ok kasi sa mga bata pag na-a-alala nila yong mga pinuntahan nila.

Hi Eloi!
Talagang megatour, si lola mo lang ang napapagod… hahaha… pero sa tutuo lang, kulang pa yan. Minsan kasi yong iba, sa summer mo lang talaga magagawa para mas enjoy talaga. Maganda magpunta rito pag spring time at early autumn para di pa masyadong malamig.
