Editing Rhine Falls (section)

==Transport==
{{See also|Transport in Switzerland}}
[[Public transport]] in Switzerland is famous for its density and its coordination between services ([[Rail transport in Switzerland|trains]], busses and boats) due to the [[clock-face schedule]].

There are several [[train station]]s near the Rhine Falls. The closest ones, within walking distance, are {{rws|Neuhausen Rheinfall}} on the northern side of the falls and {{rws|Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall}} on the southern banks of the river. Both stations are serviced by [[S-Bahn]] trains only. The town of [[Neuhausen am Rheinfall|Neuhausen]] has two additional S-Bahn railway stations, {{rws|Neuhausen}} and [[Neuhausen Badischer Bahnhof]] (Neuhausen Bad Bf), which are further away from the Rhine Falls.

{{rws|Schaffhausen}}, the largest railway station in the area, is even farther away (ca. {{convert|3.5|km|miles}}), but can be reached by frequent bus services operated by [[Verkehrsbetriebe Schaffhausen]] (vbsh) and [[PostAuto]]. The closest bus stops in walking distance to the waterfall are ''Neuhausen Zentrum'' (Neuhausen Central) and ''Schloss Laufen, Rheinfall''.

[[File:2010-07-25 16-26-11 Switzerland Schaffhausen Rheinfall.jpg|thumb|right|Boat trip to ''Rheinfallfelsen'', a rock in the middle of the Rhine Falls]]
During warmer seasons, frequent boat trips are offered from the Rhine Falls basin to one of the rocks in the middle of the waterfall ({{lang|de|Rheinfallfelsen}}).

There are no boat lines between the Rhine Falls and Schaffhausen (or any other town south of the Rhine Falls), but from April to October there are regular boat services along the scenic [[High Rhine]] (''Hochrhein'') between Schaffhausen (''Schifflände'') and [[Kreuzlingen]] ([[Lake Constance]]), operated by the [[Schweizerische Schifffahrtsgesellschaft Untersee und Rhein]] (URh). Frequent bus services (vbsh lines {{ric|VBSH|6}}, {{ric|VBSH|8}}, {{ric|VBSH|25}}) operate between ''Schifflände'' and [[Schaffhausen railway station]].

=== Private transport ===
The Rhine Falls are easily accessible by car, coach, or bicycle. Large pay-parking lots are located on both sides of the falls. The nearest exits on the [[A4 motorway (Switzerland)|A4 motorway]] are ''[[Laufen-Uhwiesen|Uhwiesen]]'', ''[[Flurlingen]]'' or ''Schaffhausen Süd''. The Rhine Falls are located on [[Swiss National Bike Routes|Swiss National Bike Route 2]] (Rhine Route).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-ch/experiences/route/rhine-route/ |title=Rhine Route |publisher=myswitzerland.com |access-date=2025-04-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://schweizmobil.ch/en/cycling-in-switzerland/route-2 |title=Rhine Route |publisher=SwitzerlandMobility (schweizmobil.ch) |access-date=2025-04-26}}</ref>
