Fairly easily accessible (not 5 hour hike or in a canyon)
Wide and low to medium height
Medium water volume (not like the Rheinfalls - although I must still see those)
Something a little like this maybe. Any suggestions?
Bit random but, in Spring I'd like to do some waterfall photography. Looking for waterfalls that are;

Sometimes you have to invest some money if you do not like to explore for your self.
Flipping hell - 80 francs for some waterfall locations, is he having a laugh?
But that cover photo is what I'm after!!!!!
There is a lovely waterfall near the village on Môtiers (NE) near me- with a huge limestone mantle- 2 mins walk from the car park at bottom of Gorges de la Poetta Raisse, with lots of small waterfalls all the way. Or walk the Gorges de l'Areuse from Noiraigue /at the bottom of Creux-du-Van, to Champs du Moulin, with weirs and waterfalls all the way. Then lunch at La Truite and go back to Noiraigue (walk or train) or continue on your way all the way to Boudry by the lake- can then take the tram to return to Neuchâtel town, and back to Noiraigue if you left a car there.
You can take the boat at Villers-le-Lac near Le Locle (actually in France) to do the Gorges du Doubs, then a short walk to the 'Saut du Doubs'.
And in nearby France in the Jura, one of the best if the Cascade du Hérissons. https://www.jura-tourism.com/vivre-l...s-du-herisson/
And in the Valais you have the Pisse-Vache
12 waterfalls in the Zurich area
Nice, but they live in Wallis and not Kanton Zurich.
Oh wow, that is actually for real
Surely you have seen it from the Autoroute!
Yes, when I used to bring loads of kids on ski trips from UK by coach- they had 2 good laughs on the way, Wankdorf and the Pissing Cow!
Le saut du Doubs, la Tine de Conflens, Ibachfälle (after some heavy rains). Actually, if you'd be interested in photographing water in general, not only waterfalls, a hike up the Kaltbrunnental, then over to Zullwil/Gilgenberg and up to Nunningenberg (passing the Ibachfälle) would make for some interesting photos. From Nunningenberg, you could even descend to St. Fridli for one more waterfall. There's a really small one a bit above the Etang de Lucelle. If you park your car on the first bridge above Lucelle (towards Bourrignon) and then hike downstream, you'll see it. Really small, but could make for some nice pictures. Not worth a trip, but if you're close.
Lots of bigger ones in the Alps. There's also this: https://www.newlyswissed.com/die-was...z-book-review/
Not in Valais, but the "seven springs" of the Simme ("Bi de sibe Brunne" on the map), up above Lenk, are well worth a visit. You do have to hike for a couple of hours to get there, but there are other waterfalls along the way.
There are easily accessible waterfalls of the type you are looking for in the upper Lauterbrunnen valley as well, within reasonable distance of the car park/bus stop at Stechelberg. This one is the Holdrifall, about an hour and a half's walk.
In nearby Italy, above Domodossola, we visited la Toce waterfall- actually a dam opened every day at certain times- that was amazing.
For Iceland-like scenery (and 2 fascinating waterfalls) check Engstligenalp.
From the Valais- you can access Lauterbrunnen on foot, from Leukerbad and up the Gemmi pass, across the top valley and down. Not for the faint hearted- but you can take the cable car (not doable in one day and return!)
Not quite... the path over the Gemmipass brings you down to Kandersteg, so two valleys west of Lauterbrunnen (in between is the Kiental). There are waterfalls there as well though :-)
Yes, thanks for the correction. That walk was made very famous when the first group of British tourists were brought over to CH by Thomas Cook in 1863. Over the Forclaz from Chamonix with horse and cart- then down the Rhône Valley and up to Leukerbad, and over the Gemmi on foot, and then down to Kandersteg. Yes, even Miss Jemima, in long skirts and underskirts and bootees. She wrote an amazing diary, with drawings.
The trip is well described by Diccon Bewes 'Slow Train to Switzerland' - a must read. It transformed the Valais forever, and the Bernese Alps region too.
Not exactly meeting your requirement of low to medium height but for something spectacular this little beauty is worth a visit:

Easily reachable from Zürich. But for the spring during the snow melt or after decently heavy rain only.
