Basel is one of the most beautiful, rich and just amazing cities in Switzerland. If you come here, they simply have to see the old town, try local cheese and chocolate. In order to try the products of the cheese and dairy industry, it is worth taking a tour to the neighboring Gruyer's neighboring Basel, which is located in the picturesque Alpine Valley, covered with juicy greens, on whom dairy cows graze. This town used to be the capital of the Gruyersky county, now there are a lot of cute restaurants in the medieval style, tiny streets and just picturesque places. It is necessary to visit the Gruyers Castle, whose name comes from the French word "GRUE" - Crane. On the territory of the castle there is a museum of the Swiss artist-Surrealist Hr. Giger. The same Higer, who in 1979 received the Oscar premium for the scenery for the film "Alien".
Also in this town, it is necessary to visit the famous Cheese House Gruyer, where you will be shown and tell you and will give to try different milk industry products - salty, sharp, caramel-nut and cream cheeses, double cream with meringues, strawberries or raspberries. In general, lovers of dairy products do not want to leave.
Literally half an hour later, Gruyer is worth visiting the town of Bro, where the largest chocolate factory of Switzerland, owned by Nestle, is located. Here you will tell you everything about cocoa varieties and the way it is delivered to Europe, the history of the invention and the evolution of chocolate, you can see the process of making chocolate, you personally try, and you can buy sweet souvenirs.
An excursion can be bought in any tourist agency of Basel, and you can order a private guide that speaks Russian. So as not to make an advertisement to a specific site - write in the search engine "Excursions to ... (the city you need)" and you will find at least a dozen solid companies that provide such services.
Also, in Switzerland, it is necessary to visit the tour of the Rhine Waterfall. It is the largest and most powerful waterfall in Europe, although not the highest, only 23 meters, but its width is already 150 meters and is located a waterfall in a small town of Schaffhausen on the border with Germany. Waterfall exists here about 14-17 thousand years. The volume of water varies depending on the time of year, during the melting of snow with stones, about 600 cubic meters of water will overturn, in the winter season - about 250 cubic meters. The most impressive waterfall looks in summer when the volume of water is significantly more. Also, waterfall can be drunk on a small boat (sent every 10 minutes) for 6.5 francs (4.5 - for children) you will be brought to the rocky protrusion in the center of the waterfall, where you can climb and be literally in the center of the waterfall, although standing there It is very scary - one incorrect movement and will take you a powerful flow, because there are no special fences or fences, it turns out if you fall, then it is to blame. The buzz from the waterfall is such that even sometimes you can not hear. In addition, you can land on the other shore, where the old castle of Schloss Laufen is tested on the mountain near the waterfall, but it is currently closed for visits. You can get there from Basel by car in less than two hours.
An excursion can be ordered in any tourist agency, and you can also agree with a private guide, although it seems to me that it would be more convenient for me to get to the waterfall, renting a car, so you can inspect a lot of interesting things on the way.
