Rhine Quay, Schaffhausen
Highlight • River
The Schifflände in its current form was only built in the 1960s on the occasion of the construction of the power plant and the Rhine bridge. After 1848, the goods yard was converted from a warehouse into a warehouse. A fine canopy was added towards the open space. It enabled goods to be unloaded in a protected manner.

View of Schaffhausen from the Munot Fortress
Highlight • Viewpoint
The city fortress is, alongside the Rhine Falls, the landmark of Schaffhausen.
Built by the citizens of Schaffhausen in 1564–1589 as forced labor. The construction principle
can be compared to Albrecht Dürer's idea of a circular bastion that is
free on all sides and surrounded by an extended city moat so that
ideal all-round defense is possible. The Munot bell from 1589 has been rung by hand every evening at 9 o'clock for
over 400 years and used to signal the closing of the city gates. Its ringing finds a romantic echo in the well-known Schaffhausen folk song
"Munotglöggli".

Schwabentor
Highlight • Historical Site
The Schwabentor on the edge of the old town was first mentioned in 1361 as the "Neuturm" and was part of the old city wall. The saying by the artist Arnold Oechslin, which has been emblazoned on the keystone of the northern archway since 1935, is well known far beyond Schaffhausen: "Lappi, open your eyes."
