A group of teenagers are being criticised after they took a daring climb across the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen.
Because of the drought, the falls are much lower at the moment – which has exposed rocks that are normally under water.

Police shouted at the adventurous teens – but no arrests were made and there was no need of a rescue operation.
