Rhine Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The Rhine Falls are an impressive natural spectacle, especially after the snowmelt. At 150 meters wide and 23 meters high, they are the largest waterfalls in Europe. In summer, up to 600,000 liters of water per second cascade down the falls. They are estimated to be approximately 15,000 years old.

Access to the northern bank is free. On the southern bank, admission costs 5 Swiss francs (including entry to Laufen Castle and access to the viewing platforms).

View of Diessenhofen and the wooden bridge over the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

Narrow streets and narrow, high houses characterize the medieval old town of Diessenhofen. As a thoroughfare leads through the old town, be careful with the bike.

Covered wooden bridge Diessenhofen-Gailingen

Highlight • Bridge

Road bridge open 24 hours between Gailingen and Diessenhofen, border between Germany and Switzerland, vehicles up to 10 tons. It is the only completely preserved wooden bridge on the Upper Rhine and is one of the rare Pfahljoch bridges. In 1972 the building owned by the city of Diessenhofen was declared a "Protected Monument" by the Swiss Confederation and the Canton of Thurgau and has been under federal protection since 1981!

Diessenhofen–Gailingen Wooden Bridge over the Rhine

Highlight • Bridge

Although there is a footpath on both sides of the bridge, it is a nuisance and when people go over it gets crowded. On the road over the bridge you have to take care with the bike as only one car fits on it and if you are already on the bridge with the bike it often happens that the oncoming car does not wait. This always leads to not so nice situations, unfortunately.
But that should not stop anyone from the NBrücke incorporate in a tour, because she is definitely worth it :)

Diessenhofen

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful place on the Rhine, not only the old wooden bridge is unique, but also the historic town center is well worth seeing. Partly with an Italian touch ...
