Mountain biking in Schaffhausen

A richly varied, cross-border mountain-bike tour in and around Switzerland's northernmost canton. Vineyards, the Randen mountain, River Rhine, with attractive resting spots along the route.

Via the Rhine Falls and Jestetten (Germany) and forested Rossberg into the sunny area of Klettgau, the largest vineyard area in Canton Schaffhausen. On through the pretty villages of Osterfingen, Wilchingen and Trasadingen and along the vineyards to Hallau. A glass of wine is a must.

Panorama road to Schleitheim. Climb up to Siblinger Randenhaus with magnificent views of the Alps. Long «crowning stage» over the wild and forested Randen, partly on German soil. Recurrent views of the southern Black Forest and Hegnau's volcanic cones.

Through hilly, cultivated countryside to the Rhine, where the lido at the Rheinuferpark in Gailingen (Germany) offers a refreshing dip. Via Ramsen, Schienen (Germany), with a climb to the lofty Hohenklingen fortress with a stunning view of the day's destination: the medieval town of Stein am Rhein.
