List of waterfalls in Switzerland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a sortable list of named waterfalls in Switzerland. Europe's largest waterfall, the Rhine Falls (Rheinfall), is located in Switzerland. Due to the country's mostly mountainous terrain (Alps, Jura), numerous creeks and rivers form waterfalls along their course, of which at least 150 are named.[1][2]
