15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, there was a tectonic shift which formed the impressive 23m high Rhienfall with 700 cu metres of water per second making the drop in a raging torrent. We visited it today and the series of observation platforms provided gave us an excellent opportunity of appreciating its immense power. We also had a short boat trip which took us right underneath the falls.

Afterwards we drove 180k westward to a pleasant campsite on the shore of Lake Biel, close to the Jura Mountains.
