Laufen Castle at the Rhine Falls

Highlight • Castle

For more than 1100 years, Laufen Castle at the Rhine Falls has witnessed many social and political upheavals. Not infrequently, due to its privileged location, it was itself the focus of disputes.
858: first mention
The Rhine Falls - at that time "big Lauffen" - gives the castle its name. The ancestral seat of the Barons of Laufen subsequently had many owners, including the Bishop of Constance, the All Saints Monastery in Schaffhausen and the Counts of Kyburg.

Railway bridge at the Rhine Falls

Highlight • Bridge

This single-track bridge was built in 1856 and expanded in the late 1950s with pedestrian walkways on both sides. It is an important traffic structure and, at the same time, a popular photo motif for visitors.

The bridge spans the river at an angle of about 55 degrees and offers a beautiful view of the Rhine Falls and the surrounding landscape.
