Rhein Falls Observation Point

We never quite figured out how the two men got to that observation point in the middle of the Rhein Falls. The rock seems surrounded by unnavigable fury.

We left Lorrach about 8 AM and drove along the Rhein on the German side to Neuhausen and the Rhein Falls. The weather was overcast and foggy so the view of the Rhein was not so spectacular. At the Swiss frontier the official asked in English if we had anything to declare for customs - we didn't. This was the first time a frontier official had done anything except glance briefly at our passport and green card.

Even in the fog and overcast the Rhein Falls were magnificent. This was the first big sight for which I had planned and it was a considerable uplift after four days of miserable weather and car trouble. The tourist center there is nice and cliean and they speak English. There were quite a few English-speaking tourists there. We got a very good cup of coffee and some pastries there.

We watched a fish eagle hunting near the falls. We have seen a large number of halks or eagles by the road - hovering over what we suppose to be a mouse hole. June 1, 1967
