Schaffhausen is beautifully nestled in nature: the Rhine, the open wine-growing region of Klettgau, and the expansive Randen hills provide a stunning backdrop and an excellent starting point for outdoor activities.
As one of the most forested cantons in Switzerland, Schaffhausen offers a paradise for all kinds of activities in and around the forest. Grab your hiking or running shoes for a session on the Vitaparcours or across the Randen, cycle along the beautiful forest trails, or visit one of the many barbecue spots for an outdoor grilling experience. Schaffhausen’s green oasis also has plenty to offer for families: observation towers, huts, caves, and fossils invite you to explore and discover.
Schaffhausen is well-connected – including an extensive network of cycling and hiking trails. Even for inline skates or canoes, there are marked routes. The area offers diverse paths, ranging from gentle hills and picturesque vineyards to idyllic riverside trails. The routes vary in length and difficulty, catering to different preferences and skill levels.
