June 8, 2024,Rheinfall - Rheinuferrunde ab Rheinau 💦💦

Today we're walking along the Rhine riverside path from Rheinau to the Rhine Falls. The "Rhi" accompanies me quietly and peacefully, almost in a meditative way... it's hard to imagine that it is currently being talked about as a spectacular flood, the likes of which have only happened twice in the last 25 years.

November 6, 2024,Der Rheinfall war kein Reinfall - Runde von Rheinau

Yesterday and today I had a few business meetings in Zurich. Since I haven't seen the Rhine Falls yet, I planned this impressive stop on the way back.

I set off from a free car park in Rheinau. Shortly after setting off, I crossed the Rhine weir and followed an idyllic nature trail that meandered picturesquely along the banks of …

May 8, 2025,Grüezi 🇨🇭... der Rheinfall ab alter Zollbrücke Altenburg

Greetings from Switzerland, hello Germany...
This tour is quickly told... you know the Rheinau monastery island... you've already seen the Rhine Falls, or at least heard something about them; around both hiking trails, besides plenty of tourists and food stalls, there are also some real highlights... and the two trails along the Rhine, the connecting sections, so to speak... they …

May 15, 2022,👍👍👍1. Etappe Rheinfall Rheinuferweg Runde von Rheinau

A very, very nice tour without any reservations, almost only directly on the Rhine, almost everything flat.
From the point where we were no longer directly on the Rhine, it went slightly uphill.

On the German side, sure-footedness required in places because the slopes have slipped.

May 17, 2022,von Rheinau zum Rheinfall

The shore path always leads up the Rhine to the Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen. It was closed for a long time because of some landslides. In the meantime it has been restored and is easily accessible. However, you walk past some bare spots in the forest and also have to climb around some tree roots. The easy way is about …

October 29, 2023,🇨🇭 ViaRhenana: Etappe 4: Von Schaffhausen nach Rheinau

The fourth stage of the Via Rhenana starts in Schaffhausen and leads over 14 comfortable kilometers over the Rhine Falls to Rheinau. It's worth first looking at the medieval old town of Schaffhausen with its 171 bay windows. It is one of the most beautiful in the country!
The city is dominated by the Munot Fortress, which is also the …
