Rhine falls are 150 metres (490 ft) wide and 23 metres (75 ft) high.The Rhine Falls were formed in the last ice age, approximately 14,000 to 17,000 years ago, by erosion-resistant rocks narrowing the riverbed. The first glacial advances created today's landforms approximately 500,000 years ago. Up to the end of the Wolstonian Stage approximately 132,000 years ago, the Rhine falls flowed westwards from Schaffhausen past Klettgau. This earlier riverbed later filled up with gravel.
