Wow–I never thought of Switzerland as a great place to visit medieval buildings, but I was very much mistaken! The cathedral from the 1100s looks pretty neat! And thanks for the info on Europe’s largest waterfall–I’ll keep it handy for trivia night!

@Debbie – I agree they are worth a visit. I have mixed feelings about the boat ride, part of me feels it would be a waste of money, while the other part thinks maybe the view from the rocks is so much better. My friend that lives in Schaffhausen says biking along the river is a very popular thing to do for the locals and I can see why.

@Scott – Waterfalls are one of my favorite natural sites too and I would still recommend seeing the Rhine Falls, just go with expectations in check.

@Julia – I really want to spend more time exploring Switzerland as well, from the little I did see, I loved it. Let me know if you’re ever in Germany.

I’ve only ever been around the French/Swiss border when I went skiing a good few years ago. Would love to explore more of Switzerland – and Germany for that matter!

Thanks for passing out the freebies and the heads up on the falls from the picture I was imagining some like Niagara too. I would still go anyway though. I think waterfalls are one of my favorite natural sites.

Thanks for your comments everyone.

@The Dropout – I got really lucky with Schaffhausen as I have a friend who lives there who showed me all the best spots 🙂

@Gina – LOL! I can only imagine what you thought, too funny! I haven’t been to the Bodensee yet, but am planning to go there this summer, would love to meet up.

@Mette – It is lovely, just not as big as I was expecting. There’s also a bike path along the Rhine River and Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen that looks really nice, next time.

I really enjoyed Schaffhausen and the falls. They are very different than Niagara but definitely spectacular in their own right. I would like to take one of the boats and the bike path sounds very intriguing!

The pictures are really cool, even taken on a gloomy day!

I didn’t know the Rhine has falls, but both river and architecture sure looks like a fairy tale.

I actually grew up in Niagara Falls–can you imagine what I thought when I got to “Europe’s biggest waterfall”?! Hey, if you are coming through the area, let me know! I live at the Bodensee.
