Kanton Schaffhausen Essentials

Kanton Schaffhausen is defined by the Rhine Falls, Europe’s most powerful waterfall, and the medieval architecture of its capital and nearby Stein am Rhein. The 16th-century Munot fortress overlooks Schaffhausen’s old town, where the Schwabentor gate and the Romanesque Allerheiligen Monastery stand. In Stein am Rhein, St. George’s Abbey and the hilltop Hohenklingen Castle showcase well-preserved medieval structures. Cultural highlights include the Museum zu Allerheiligen’s art collections and Smilestones, one of Switzerland’s largest indoor miniature worlds.
