It is located in the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen, on the border with Germany.</p> <p>The falls are formed where the Rhine River flows over a rocky ridge, creating a 150-meter-wide (490 ft) and 23-meter-high (75 ft) drop. The water plunges into a narrow gorge, creating a thunderous roar that can be heard for miles around.</p>
