![]() | RHEINFALL SCHAFFHAUSEN SWITZERLAND Part 3 The second major landmark was the Schloss Laufen, perched on the high cliffs directly above the falls. The Schloss may have once been a true palace, but now it serves as the Rheinfalls' primary tourist haven. The Schloss hosts a restaurant, a massive souvenir stand, a garden, and a gateway to several observation decks that wind their way down to the falls. Some photograph showed one of the higher observation decks, while the first showed the lowest. In fact, that one was so low and so near the falls that the water rushed directly under the floor, and the water seemed to be rushing right at me! It was absolutely gorgeous. Access down to the observation decks only cost 1 Swiss franc, or 75 Euro cent, definitely worth it. (19July 2007) |

![]() | Das Munotglöcklein - Hans Burger Popular (and actually very old) song from the town of Schaffhausen. The song is performed by Hans Burger (probably1951) The "Munotglöcklein" is the tower bell of the Munot, a 16th century fortification south of the city of Schaffhausen. The bell was made in 1589 and served as an alarm bell for many centuries. Still today, it is rung every day by hand at 9.00 PM by the "Munotwächter", a honorary guard whose main task today is to act as a tourist guide. Due to the permanent use, a crack appeared in one side of the bell a few centuries ago, which finally reached a length of about two meters. The crack gave the bell its specific, somewhat melancholic sound. It was this sound which inspired Dr. Ferdinand Buomberger in 1911 to write the song "Das Munotglöcklein" ("The Munot Bell"), which provides a romancing explanation for the crack, which, however, has no historical foundation. The music has been borrowed from an older folk song. The crack was repaired in 2002, to avoid a complete damage of the bell. The romantic legend: he is on guard duty at the tower, he is the "Munotwächter" is task is to ring the bell. From above there he sees the entire town; but, on one sad day, he also sees his beloved dancing, smiling and kissing another man. He gets so upset that he rings the bell, with all the force of his despair, the bell cracks. |
