Down the Rhine to Schaffhausen and the Rhine Falls

Experience the natural wonder of the Rhine Falls on a trip to Neuhausen!

First, the tour takes you from Radolfzell on Lake Constance to Moos. In the centre of town, turn right. Follow this road for around 200 metres, then turn left at the slight bend onto Mühlenstraße. This road leads out of town. After about 1.5 kilometres, turn right onto a path through a reed bed towards Bohlingen. You will reach the Kesslerhof farm, and shortly afterwards you will come to the Aach River. Follow the river to Rielasingen-Worblingen. Once there, cross the village via the road that leads towards Switzerland. Shortly after crossing the border, cycle along Hofäckerstraße via Gottmadingen, Randegg, Dörflingen and Büsingen to Schaffhausen. The municipality of Neuhausen am Rheinfall borders the city of Schaffhausen to the south.

To visit the famous Rhine Falls in Neuhausen, cycle about two kilometres downstream. On the return journey, cycle back from Schaffhausen on the right bank of the Rhine, passing the Paradies monastery, and continue on to Diessenhofen. Here, you will cross the Rhine via an old wooden bridge. On the other side is the German town of Gailingen. From there, the route takes you via Ramsen, Rielasingen and Bohlingen back to Radolfzell on Lake Constance.

Remember to wear appropriate clothing! You should always have sun and rain protection with you, as well as a bicycle helmet. You should also bring enough drinks and some food.

This tour crosses the 'green border' into Switzerland. Therefore, we strongly recommend that everyone carries identification.

Entry to the Rhine Falls is free at one side of the Rhine Falls. Payment for on-site attractions that charge an admission fee, such as Laufen Castle and Rhine Falls basin tours, can also be made in euros.
