Overview

On a short train ride from Zürich to Schaffhausen, you arrive in the mediaeval town of Schaffhausen, the northernmost city in Switzerland. Walk through the old town with its painted facades of the guild houses from Baroque times. You continue the tour to the castle Laufen, where you visit the interactive exhibition about the Rhine Falls. On the adventure trail along Europe’s largest waterfall, you feel the force and vibration of the water before exploring the boat tours. First, cross the river to the other bank on calm water. The second boat tour will take you safely and as close as possible to the mighty waters of the Rhine Falls and the basin. The third tour will take you to “the rock”, the rock in the midst of waterfalls to stand above the waterfalls. After so much adventure, things will get quieter again with a walk along the shore before crossing back to the castle. By train you will travel through a lovely vineyard area back to Zürich.
