About the Canton
Cooling off in the canton of Schaffhausen
The canton of Schaffhausen, characterised by the striking bend in the Upper Rhine and idyllic vineyards, is a true paradise for water lovers. The Rhine not only provides a majestic backdrop, but is also the vibrant heart of the region’s traditional culture of swimming and river bathing.
A surprisingly diverse range of bathing spots awaits you along the river, as well as in the Klettgau and Reiat regions. The options range from historic river bathing spots right in the flowing Rhine, through idyllic natural bathing spots, to modern, well-equipped family and outdoor swimming pools. Whether in the town of Schaffhausen itself or in the surrounding communities: every bathing spot in the canton has its own unique charm and offers the perfect way to cool off.
