Our Hotel Rüden

Our Hotel Rüden is located at the entrance to Schaffhausen’s historic old town and close to the railway station. The façade of this former 18th-century guild house, which is faithful to the original, is also reflected in the interior: here you will spend the night under decorative stucco ceilings and wooden elements. Parts of the town walls have even been incorporated into some rooms. Our Hotel Rüden is situated just a stone’s throw away from the city’s attractions.

Schaffhausen Rhein Falls

The Rhein Falls are Europe’s largest waterfall and are spectacularly situated at the southern edge of the town. A number of boat tours take you very close to the falls or follow the Rhine along its picturesque riverbank. The thundering waterfall is 150 metres wide. The impressive Schloss Laufen towers above, along with several viewing platforms. The natural spectacle is lit up in the evening, creating a breathtaking atmosphere, when dining in the castle restaurant, for instance.
