Neuhausen am Rheinfall: Schaffhausen, Schweiz: Nordost (Flurlingen/ Schaffhausen)
Few places in the canton of Schaffhausen have a history as closely tied to the Rhine Falls as Neuhausen am Rheinfall. The municipality lies on the River Rhine beside the falls, where the water drops 23 metres across a breadth of 150 metres. The falls are among Switzerland’s best-known natural landmarks and define this stretch of the High Rhine between Lake Constance and Basel. Neuhausen extends from settled neighbourhoods onto cultivated slopes and wooded riverbanks, marking the transition from the town of Schaffhausen to the rural northern Swiss plateau. Across the river, Schloss Laufen stands above the falls and serves as a visitor centre and access point to the waterfall.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
