Schaffhausen, Switzerland — A Day on the Rhine

 

First full day in Switzerland. Julie had work meetings in Schaffhausen, a small town 30 minutes north of Zurich. I played tourist today, setting out to see the nearby Rhine Falls. The hotel said it was an hour walk and that maybe I should take a bus. It was a nice day and figured the walk would be fine. Unfortunately, I walked up river and the falls were down river.  After an hour and not seeing anything close to a waterfall, I got a sinking feeling that I made a geographic error.  After checking Google maps, something I should have done much earlier, I realized I was almost into Germany. Yikes!  Retracing my many steps, I continued beyond our little town of Schaffhausen for another 3km to the Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Europe (pics and video below).
