The Rhine Falls (German: Rheinfall, singular) is the largest waterfall in Switzerland and Europe. The falls are located on the High Rhine on the border between the cantons of Schaffhausen (SH) and Zürich (ZH), between the municipalities of Neuhausen am Rheinfall (SH) and Laufen-Uhwiesen/Dachsen (ZH), next to the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (at Rheinfall)

#🏰 #Neuschwanstein #Castle, which #King #Ludwig II built on a rugged hill against a backdrop of picturesque #strassenfotografie mountain scenery, was prompted by the idea of rebuilding an existing ruin "in the authentic style of the old #German knights' castles", as he wrote in a letter to #Richard #Wagner. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (hier: Neuschwanstein Castle)

#🏰 #Fussen (the #German spelling is #Füssen) is often called the romantic #soul of #Bavaria. Although the #medieval #city is a worthy tourist attraction itself, Fussen's most claim to fame is its location in the kings nook (Königswinkel), and its closeness to King Ludwig's dream castle. One of the most scenic German #holiday routes, the romantic road (Romantische Straße), from Fussen to #Würzburg) starts (or ends) here. You should really take a few days to explore the #Romantic Road, it is indeed one of the best tourist attractions in #Germany. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (hier: Füssen) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmHDuZunZJ4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oqaum8gfi2xo

#🏰 One of the most #exciting #Neuschwanstein #Castle #facts is that the castle has been featured in such things as the video, “The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery” as well as the movies, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and the “Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm”. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (hier: Schloss Neuschwanstein) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmFzLlxHnqn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sojrk12znkyl

#🦄 #Basel has #long held an #important #place as a #rail #hub. Three #railway stations — those of the #German, #French and #Swiss networks — lie within the city (although the Swiss (Basel SBB) and French (Bâle SNCF) stations are actually in the same complex, separated by Customs and Immigration facilities). Basel Badischer Bahnhof is on the opposite side of the city. Basel’s local rail services are supplied by the Basel Regional S-Bahn. The largest goods railway complex of the countryis located just outside the city, spanning the municipalities of Muttenz and Pratteln. The new high speed ICE railway line from Karlsruhe to Basel was completed in 2008 while phase I of the TGV Rhin-Rhône line, opened in December 2011, has reduced travel time from Basel to Paris to about 3 hours. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (hier: Basel, Switzerland)

#🏰 #Basel is #Switzerland's third #largest #city with a total population of about 170'000 inhabitants on an area of 37 km2. The spoken language is the regional Swiss German dialect known as Baslerdytsch. The #Rhine #River is a commercial channel that separates #Kleinbasel from #Grossbasel. Basel is well known for its chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Hofmann-La Roche and Novartis are both based in Basel. The city is also well known for its vibrant cultural scene, particularly in art and theatre. Basel has a generous offering of art galleries, museums, opera houses, and theatres. Read more about these aspects of the city in the articles Enjoying Basel and Entertainment, News & Media in Basel. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (at Basel, Switzerland)

#🏰 One of the oldest #intellectual #centers of #Europe, #Basel has through its #university (founded 1460 by Pius II) attracted leading artists, scholars, and teachers. It was the residence of Froben, #Erasmus, Holbein the Younger, Calvin, Nietzsche, and the Bernoulli family. Jacob Burckhardt and Leonhard Euler were born there. Among the city's noted structures are the #cathedral (consecrated 1019), in which Erasmus is buried; the #medieval gates; several guild houses; the 16th-century town hall; the #Kunstmuseum with a valuable collection of Holbein's works; and the Fondation Beyeler, a modern-art museum designed by Renzo Piano. The city has many other art galleries and museums. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (at Basel, Switzerland)

#🦄 For the past 700 years or so, #Basel has been #famous for one #product – #Läckerli, a sort of hard #gingerbread that originally was only made at New Year. Now you can buy it anywhere in #Switzerland at any time, but a visit to the Läckerli #Huus in Basel is always worth it. The #biscuit is a mix of honey, nuts, candied fruit and spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. By the way, Läckerli doesn’t exist in English, but translates roughly as ‘small and delicious’. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (at Basel, Switzerland)

#⛰ To stand high above #Europe's #largest #waterfall, feeling the #roar and #vibration of the #water over one's entire body - this can be experienced at the #Rhine #Falls near #Schaffhausen. By ship one can reach #castles, the Rhine Falls #Basin and even the mighty #rock in the midst of the waterfall. Due to tectonic shifts in the Ice Age, the Rhine River was forced into a new riverbed over 15,000 years ago. The Rhine Falls came into being at the transition point where hard chalk turned into soft gravel. Over a breadth of 150 meters, several hundred cubic meters of water #rush into the depths at the rate of 23 meters per second. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (at Rheinfall)

#🏰 The earliest documented citation of #Basilia #Basel, the #city at the bend in the #Rhine, dates from the year 374. Basel’s #heraldic #animal, the #basilisk, is certainly of more recent origin. It is a #mythical #creature, part cockerel and part #dragon, which appeared for the first time around the year 450. The Basilisk holding Basle’s coat of arms can be traced back in heraldry to a monument reminding of the fatal earthquake in 1356 that completely destroyed the city. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (at Basel, Switzerland)

#⛴ The #Rhine. #Basel straddles Europe’s greatest #river – a small part of the #city (#Kleinbasel) sits on the northern shore, even though the rest of that riverbank is #German – and so acts as #Switzerland’s gateway to the sea. What I love most are the four wooden ferries (known as #Fähri) that gently glide across the river, taking foot passengers to the other side for Fr 1.60. They use the river’s current to get across but are attached to a #cable so that they don’t end up in the North #Sea. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #👍 #shootstreets #street_photography #streetshots #architectures #architecture_greatshots #architecture_hunter #reisenmachtglücklich #travelblog #traveldestination #travelnow #voyageursdumonde #rue #straße #strassenfotografie (at Basel, Switzerland)

#🏰 In #Zurich you can embark on a 13-km-long #walk along the #Planetary #Way that begins on the #Üetliberg #Mountain. Having enjoyed the excellent #city #panorama from up top, tourists then head for the planets themselves. The distances between them correspond to the ones in the sky.
