RhineFalls


This is supposed to be the biggest waterfall in terms of volume of water!!.......There was a direct train to a village called Schaffhaussen. Initially Vishal and me got a ticket to Winterthur and that too full. But then we realized the mistake and the person on the counter was kind enough to make it the required one and he also adjusted the money. So we set out with right tickets and the journey was as good as it had been on previous 2 days. In the train and then in the bus we met a guy. He was studying at Zurich University and was going there to meet his friend who was working in the restaurant. We also met an interesting person who was very helping in guiding us. He also had a very sweet baby and the baby was so cheerful!! It was really really cute!! God bless it!!

The place is really beautiful and the actual fall is real great. There is a ferry ride which takes you to the island which you can climb and the view if fall from there is real close and grandiose. I clicked n number of pictures from there. After staying there till the next ferry came to pick us up, we went on a big walk. There are multiple pathways around where you can walk and see the water from various angles. One path goes directly parallel to the railway line and it also happens to be the bridge over the river. Here we and Shweta lost track of each other. (Eventually we met and came back together)….here also I have clicked loads of pictures and all of them are worth it!!

The journey back was quite uneventful and this concluded our first weekend.
