Hiking
Schaffhausen's old town captivates visitors with its colorful bay windows, richly decorated facades, and medieval charm. Narrow lanes lead to magnificent townhouses, fountains, and squares. The Munot fortress is a prominent landmark. Cafés, shops, and history combine to create a vibrant, well-preserved cityscape on the Rhine, surrounded by culture, tradition, and a surprisingly diverse urban life.
