A very beautiful route along the Rhine

A little preview of the Rhine Falls

How imposing this fortress is, perched above the Rhine.

Why this "island" belongs to Germany but lies in the middle of Swiss territory is an interesting and old story. It is highly recommended to read this story.

The Schwabentor (Swabian Gate) in Schaffhausen's old town was first documented in 1361 as the "Neuturm" (New Tower). It formed the northern boundary of the medieval city fortifications against Swabia. Today, the Schwabentor provides access to the suburbs. On the western side of the Schwabentor, a section of the old city wall with its parapet walk and the "Finsterwaldturm" (Dark Forest Tower) corner tower remains. In 1555, a bastion, the so-called Zwinger, was built in front of the tower. In 1607/1608, this bastion was replaced by a larger outer ward with two inner courtyards and two round towers. The two round towers were demolished in 1867. In 1932, a fire completely destroyed the interior of the tower and the mansard roof with its small bell tower, which dated from 1782. Between 1933 and 1935, the architect Wolfgang Müller redesigned the Schwabentor. The artist Carl Roesch painted frescoes in the clock niches. The painting on the south side is called "Cosmos" (a man and woman in the cosmic cycle between death and demons, with a flame-guarding angel protecting the couple). The painting on the north side is called "Cycle" (the four ages of man in the sequence of the clock's inexorable passage). Since the fire, the tower has been covered by a tent-like roof. A Schaffhausen goat, designed by Richard Petraschke, serves as a weathervane at the top. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwabentor_(Schaffhausen)

Just beautiful,

A huge, impressive waterfall that is definitely worth visiting.

A beautiful medieval town with charming alleyways. It's worth exploring the streets by bike.
