From beautiful snow-capped mountains and immense lakes to quaint villages.
Driving north from Zurich towards the German border, you will pass a stunning lower Alpine landscape that is famed for its vineyards. We’ll cross the picture-postcard village farming village of Marthalen. Almost every building appears to be a traditional whitewashed half-timbered house.
By now your appetite will have been whetted in expectation of the main event: the stunning Rhine Falls.
Hear the roar and feel the power of mother nature as you witness the largest waterfall in Europe in action. With a drop of 23 meters and a staggering width of 150 meters, you will not be disappointed. When Frankenstein author Mary Shelley visited the falls, she described them as ‘exceeding anything I had ever before seen. More than 160 years later, the sensation is the same for many visitors. Some of the views of the falls are simply jaw-dropping.
Allow yourself to be thrilled by this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. As an optional extra, you can opt to take a boat ride in the Rhine Basin.
On our way back to Zürich, we drive past Schaffhausen where you can see the renowned 16th-century Munot Fortress.
