As we climed the steps to the top of the rock, there were a couple other places to overlook the falls and take a break. Here is a great picture of just how strong this falls is.

After taking the boat over to the Observation Rock, I took a close up picture of the smaller side of the falls. It is not as big, but still beautiful.

In the middle of the Rheinfall there is a rock that people can go to. You must take a boat and walk up quite a few steps and then you get a great view.

This is where the falls hits the bottom, causing the churning and boiling effect.

A small part of the river flows over and powers this waterwheel. It is fun to see that these still exist.

This is the top of the falls, just before it drops over the edge.

Over Easter, René and I took a trip to the Rheinfall, near Schaffhausen in Switzerland. This falls is the largest waterfall in Europe. It was also featured on an episode of the Amazing Race.

Here you can see Steffisburg and Thun. Can you tell where one ends and the other begins? I know I can’t.

This was taken from a hill above Steffisburg. This is where I live here. Although you can not see the house I live in because everything is so close together.

The Berner Oberland is the mountainous region south of Bern. It is a big ski area and very touristy.
