Passing the most beautiful places in the city
The sauna marathon takes you past the most beautiful and interesting places in our city: In the historic old town of Schaffhausen, the Munot (Schaffhausen's landmark), on the banks of the Rhine, in the steel foundry and various parks. Whether with a glass of wine overlooking the Rhine or swimming in one of the historic old town fountains - there is no better way to experience the beautiful city of Schaffhausen.
Highlights
Thanks to numerous partnerships, the third Sauna Marathon promises to be another culinary journey and participants can look forward to great infusions and ceremonies: a freshly tapped Schaffhausen beer is just as much a part of the experience as a glass of Schaffhausen Pinot Noir and makkara (Finnish for sausage) cooked on the sauna stove by the Finnish Association. In banya tents, you can indulge in the original Siberian banya ritual, while in the Rhysauna, the KSS and in the infusion yurt on Fronwagplatz there will be experience and relaxation infusions.
