The Rhine Falls

One million litres of water per second - just try to imagine it! Can you hear the whoosh, or rather the thunder, of the water as it pours over the rocks? But proof that you can nevertheless get through even against such loud noise is provided - on a "Rhyfall Mändli" ship - by Texetera's new audio guide.

Climb on board, find a seat, put on the headset... and we're off. In a half hour round trip the captain will take you to several interesting places around and beneath the Rhine Falls. We tell you what you are looking at now... or what you would have seen 500 years ago... or even 15,000 years ago, before the Rhine Falls even existed.

The device we have used this time is not an iPod, but a special group audio guide. All the passengers hear the same thing at the same time - in the language of their choice.
