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.

The rock can be reached on a circular tour of the Rhine Falls, during which one can observe the natural spectacle from up close.
