One wish came true! I wanted to see Rhein Fall for a long time and finally able to visit during this weekend! It turned out to be more than I have expected!!
Schaffhausen is the old city locating by river Rhein. The river had a lot to do with this city for a long time. Those ages, when people can transfer things only by ship, Schaffhausen had a very imtportant role. The city functioned as a custom since all the people, all the things had to change ships due to Rhein Fall. Therefore, the city was flourished by commercial activites. I was very excited to see such a fall which played important role in history, plus only one fall in the river which last for 1300km.
Due to the consecutive rainy days last week, the water amount was higher than usual. The fall was unbelievably powerful and showing us strongness of nature. I was very astonished just seeing it way underneath.
I went closer, eager to feel it's strongness.. Ok, understood. In German, there is an article for each nouns, masculine, feminine and neutrality. Rhein is masculine, while Donau is feminine. "Der Rhein", Yes it is, the river was showing it's maleness!
Along the river, you could also have a small hike. There is a bridge going over the Rhein Fall. You could also have a seat on the bench and enjoy the beauty of nature. I heard that city is planning to illuminate the Rhein Fall in order to attract more tourists. From old ages and up to now, the city is profited a lot from the Rhein Fall.
We also went to Munot, the Fortness of the city. It is now protected as Clutural Treasure. On the way to the Munot, there is a beautiful grape field.
I've never seen grape fields that close! It was long way up to Munot, but I never felt tired because of awesome view. I looked back many times. The more I go higher, more beautiful the view became. Finally I saw Rhein as well.
On the top, there was a canon. But actually in the history, the Fortness was not strong enough to defend from the fire of enemies. So when the city was a batthlefield of war between France and Austria, Munot wasn't even became a target.
I think it is difficult to fight, once you see this peaceful view from the top..
Entire of the tour, we had a special local guide, who always lived in Schaffhansen and love this city. He showed us around including nice old street of the town and very delicious ice cream!! After a long day, we all little bit tired and decided to cook at his place and eat at garden.
Tomomi and Lukas.
By talking to him, I also felt how much people love Rhein. He is now considering to move the town but he cannot think of moving to the place without water.
It was the day getting know to new city and also warm-hearted local man who is proud of the city.
