Please note: Information about the fireflies' activities is available on the City of Schaffhausen's website (see the "Contact" page).
Modeling it after Munich’s Waldfriedhof, Munich’s City Planning Director Grässel designed the cemetery in a section of the Rheinhardwald. Harmoniously integrated into the existing beech forest, the approximately 17-hectare site features various burial plots, family graves, and works of art of all kinds. The entrance area is dominated by the striking funeral hall with its crematorium. Of particular note are the columbarium and the memorial for the victims of the 1944 bombing. The Waldfriedhof has been recognized as one of the 40 most beautiful parks in Switzerland. Tip: Around the end of June, many fireflies can be seen flying in the evenings. Guided tours for groups are available by telephone reservation.
