the Schaffhauserland

The Schaffhauserland lies at the northernmost tip of Switzerland. There, where the Rhine characterizes the landscape and gentle hills merge into the expanses of the Klettgau and the heights of the Randen. Nestled between the cantons of Zurich and Thurgau to the south and Germany to the north and west, the Schaffhauserland has its own unique character: authentic villages, picturesque river landscapes and vast vineyards invite you to discover, enjoy and linger.

The area of the Canton of Schaffhausen is colored rosé. The individual municipalities are marked on it.
