June 8, 2025,Feuerthalen-Diessenhofen Rundwanderung

A circular hike along the most beautiful stretch of the Rhine. We parked at the Coop Rhymarkt. It probably doesn't bother anyone on a Sunday. Beautiful paths, always with views of the Rhine, with young swans, ducklings, and chickadees nesting, past bunkers, over roots, footbridges, and through the Schaaren nature reserve. There are barbecue areas and cozy spots along the …

July 13, 2024,🚶‍♂️ Am Rhein entlang von Diessenhofen nach Schaffhausen, zurück mit dem Schiff 🚢

Hike along the Rhine down to Schaffhausen, then a short visit to the old town.
Then take the same route back with the scheduled boat, uphill at around 10 km/h (journey time 1 hour for 9 km).
So far a good route, although a bit too much in the forest, on sometimes wet and muddy paths.
Diessenhofen and especially Schaffhausen …

Three secularized monasteries line up like pearls along the hiking trail: St. Katharinental near Diessenhofen, formerly Dominican nuns and today a hospital and nursing home for the canton of Thurgau, …

Last stage of the ViaRhenana with destination Schaffhausen, my old home.

Hiked a total of 195 km from Kreuzlingen to Basel.

Right outside
and on the Rhine
there lies a little piece of the world
a little dreamy and sleepy one looks there
there is a little piece of the world
and many people feel it …

Along the banks of the Rhine and through beautiful forest paths, the path 🚶🐕 led us from Diessenhofen towards Schaffhausen. In the "Paradiesli" there was a great coup!

Well, and then the worm was inside: actually I wanted to take the train 🚂 back to Diessenhofen! This came towards me on the route and so I made a quick …

May 10, 2025,Schaffhausen🇨🇭

After a city tour of Schaffhausen 🇨🇭, we went on a boat trip ⛴ on the Rhine. Our plan was to go to Stein am Rhein, but unfortunately, the Rhine was so low that we had to stop in Diessenhofen. A beautiful day with fantastic weather 🌞

October 2, 2021,Rheintour von Diessenhofen ins Paradies und zurück

Before the weather turns bad again, the beautiful hiking weather is used today. Basically the continuation of my last year's tour from Rheinklingen to Diessenhofen. That's why today we went from Diessenhofen along the Rhine to Büsingen. A village of curiosities. A German exclave in the middle of Switzerland. There is an extra license plate with BÜS although it belongs …
