The path meanders gently along the sparkling Rhine, whose water sparkles in the sunlight like a thousand tiny jewels. The air is fresh and clear, filled with the soothing sound of the flowing water.

Lots of adventure options, but not cheap and very overcrowded on nice weekends.

On the rock trip No. 1 Yellow Line you can experience the Rhine Falls from a unique perspective. The ship takes you to the heart of the Rhine Falls, the mighty central rock. During a 20-minute stop there you have the opportunity to climb the more than 100 steps to the 30-meter-high viewing platform. The climb is worth it, once you reach the top you are rewarded with a unique 360-degree view of the Rhine Falls. On the return trip to the harbor there is another incomparable photo backdrop!
