Rheinfall (Rhine Falls)

How about stumbling upon this on our drive home for a Christmas Eve present?


Formed by glaciers during the ice age, the Rhine Falls are pretty spectacular, and for €5 per person, we walked down the narrow stairs on the adjacent hill to the observation deck where these pictures were taken. Though they were a marvelous site, we were pleased that we did not take a separate trip just to see the Rhine Falls; however, if you are in the Zurich area, it is worth the detour and admission fee on a pretty day.


Some Rhine Falls trivia - fish are not able to swim up the falls, but crafty/evolved eels have figured it out. Reminds me of our  late pet eel, Slider, who I'm pretty sure climbs the Rhine Falls in eel heaven for exercise.
