A short video of the Rhine falls taken on holiday in Switzerland and Germany summer 2012.

The falls are located, near the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland, between the cantons of Schaffhausen and Zürich.

They are 150 m (450 ft) wide and 23 m (75 ft) high and in summer, the average water flow is 700 m³/s. The power of water in these falls is impressive and the noise incredible as the water flows over the falls.

It is possible to get within a few metres of the falls at one of the observation points.

The background of the introduction and still images is part of the clip which follows immediately after.  A section of the clip was slowed down to approx 1/6 normal speed, a colourised and dilated effect applied.
