The series SightSeeingVirtualCachesSSVC

SightSeeingVirtualCaches are virtual caches which will show you attractions all over the world. Caches of this series are always "OC-only" and can only be logged by finding a passwort on the concrete site.
You are welcome to log with a photo, but that is not a duty.
Further SightSeeingVirtualCaches of this series you will find with this search



The Rhine Falls in Neuhausen (near Schaffhausen) is one of the three largest (concerning the water flow) waterfalls in Europe. Depending on the season, the average runoff varies between 250 and 600 cubic meters/second. The Rhine Falls have a drop heigth of 23 meters and a width of 150 meters. The depth of the basin ist 13 meters.

Most of the viewpoints on the Rhine Falls (below Laufen Castle) cost an admission fee and offer magnificent views of this natural force. It is also worth to walk down from Laufen Castle to the landing stage and walk down the riverside for a while.

The tourist parking near the listed coordinates do cost a fee and are relatively expensive. But if you want to go to Castle Laufen anyway, I recommend you to park there because there is a free parking area (anyway the time I was there) and the small walk is recommended.




To claim this virtual cache it would be fine if you would append a picture with you/your GPS-device near the Rhine Falls. You will find the required password, looking at the plan overview near the Tourist Information: Count the number of symbols below the words "Schlössli Wörth" = X. The number of symbols in the row with "P5" (this included) will be Y. On the info board is a building left to the location called "Word Park". The password is then composed as follows: XWordY

(2.1.23: Apparently the info board has been replaced and the task for the password has now been adjusted. Thanks für "Thai-TukTuk" for the new picture.)

Have fun and enjoy the attraction; best wishes from the SightSeeingVirtualCaches Team.

Mit einer Gruppe den Rheinfall bei Nacht besucht. Auch schön!

Ich hatte Probleme bei der Lösung, vermutlich wurde die Tafel gewechselt. Die Eignerin musste mir helfen und hat dafür ein Foto meiner Tafel erhalten. 

Danke für die rasche Hilfe

Der ersten Anlaufpunkt in der Schweiz war diese Sehenswürdigkeit. Das letzte Mal, dass ich hier war ist schon 36 Jahre her.Es hat sich vieles verändert, nur der Rhein ist noch der Rhein.

Vielen Dank an dogesu für das Legen und Pflegen von SSVC: Rheinfall!
Harzliche Grüße und Glück Auf!

Dieser Logeintrag wurde extrem umweltfreundlich, aus wiederverwertbaren Buchstaben von weggeworfenen E-Mails geschrieben und ist voll digital abbaubar.3
