Sankt Nikolaus is especially worth a detour for the magnificent view: directly below lies the monastery island of Rheinau, and the view also sweeps over the Rhine, which flows here in a loop, and the adjacent vineyards.

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 Rhine Bath in Schaffhausen is located directly on the Rhine below the old town and is a popular meeting place in summer. This historic river bathing area offers changing rooms, sun terraces, and access to the clear water. Brave swimmers can drift with the current, while others relax and enjoy the view of the old town, the Munot fortress, and passing boats. The Rhine Bath combines swimming fun, tradition, and a unique river landscape right in the heart of the city.
