Locations
Whether with a glass of wine on the Munotzinne overlooking the Rhine or bathing in one of the historic old town fountains - there is no better way to experience the beautiful city of Schaffhausen.
Past the most beautiful places
Schaffhausen enchants visitors with its beautiful, historic old town and its location on the Rhine. The town's landmark is the Munot fortress.
Old Town
The charm of Schaffhausen lies in its medieval, traffic-free old town. 171 bay windows - no other town in Switzerland has more - adorn the medieval façades. In Schaffhausen's beautiful old town, numerous saunas and warm water pools are set up in the centre of the pedestrian zone.
Rhine bank and Lindli
Schaffhausen and the Rhine belong together. The most beautiful spot on the banks of the Rhine is Lindli, the green promenade directly on the Rhine. Here you can also bathe in the cool water, which is why the Lindli is ideal for the sauna marathon.
Rhybadi
Built 157 years ago, this listed building is the largest box bath in Switzerland and invites you to swim in summer and take a sauna in winter. The Rhybadi is home to the Rhybadi association in the winter months Rhysauna, who is now in his fifth season of running a natural, public sauna here with a lot of passion and voluntary work.
After a sauna bath, cooling off in the Rhine is a must! In addition to the Rhysauna, the sauna of the Schaffhausen section of the Friends of Finland Association is also located here.
Munot
The Munot fortress is the town's landmark and was built 400 years ago. The Munot offers a sweeping view over the old town, the Rhine and the wooded hills of the outskirts, which surround Schaffhausen as a green belt.
The Munotzinne is the venue for open-air cinemas, children's parties, dance events and now, in collaboration with the Munot Association the Schaffhausen Sauna Marathon also takes place.
Steel foundry
Where tonnes of steel were once cast, a completely new and modern district has been created. The Steel foundry embodies a new departure on historical ground, an unprecedented combination of old and new, of tradition and modernity.
We will set up a sauna and a hot tub in the 300-metre-long Stadtgarten, the former centre of the industrial area.
Also located in the steel foundry is the 34 °C warm Rheumatism league therapy pool, which is also open to participants in the sauna marathon.
Rhine ship
You can also take a sauna on the Rhine during the Sauna Marathon! On the «Arenenberg» of our event partner URh (Untersee and Rhine Navigation Company) we offer a unique sauna experience: sauna on the ship!
Welcome on board!
