The 25 miles long Niagara River is the connection between
the Erie Sea and the 62 miles long Ontario Sea, which forms the Niagara
Falls: in the East the American Fall (height: 180 ft / 55 m, width: 1148
ft / 350m), in the North the Canadian Fall, also called the "Horseshoe
Fall", (height: 161 ft / 49 m, width: 2788 ft / 850 m. The falls
are best viewed from the Canadian site, where also is located the "Skylon
Tower", an observation tower, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view
of the whole area and enables you to watch, how the water of the Ontario
Sea pours into the Niagara falls. Most impressive for us has been a boat
ride along the bottom of the falls. In this way we experienced this raging
force of nature with all our senses. We heard and saw the thunderous water
masses fall down from the height and the sea spray sprinkled on our raincoats.
These were unforgettable and unimaginable impressions - one simply must
have experienced this ...
