Weidling Tour on the Rhine

The traditional Weidling is arguably the most characteristic boat on the Rhine. Entirely without a motor, powered only by a stake and muscle strength, the Weidling moves upstream. Rocking in the wooden boat under the trees of the densely overgrown bank, you feel closer to nature than ever before.

Come along for a Weidling trip, a unique river journey, and experience a true Schaffhausen tradition.
