Weidling trip on the Rhine

The traditional Weidling is probably the most characteristic boat on the Rhine. The Weidling moves up the Rhine without a motor, using only stake and muscle power. Swaying in a wooden boat under the trees on the densely overgrown banks, you feel closer to nature than ever before.

Come along on a Weidling river journey , the somewhat different river journey and experience a real Schaffhausen tradition.
