The region between the boutique cities of Schaffhausen and St.Gallen in the heart of Eastern
Switzerland has a wide variety of tourist attractions. Discover the diversity of the region from
Lake Bodensee and the 4 countries corner to the
gently rolling pre-Alpine landscape with Mount
Säntis.
In many ways, St.Gallen, the small metropolis of
Eastern Switzerland, is like a big cosmopolitan
city. And this title suits it well. It owes this reputation not just to the monastery complex, which
is a World Cultural Heritage Site, but also to the
success of its textile industry.

Basel
Rorschach at Lake Bodensee is a vibrant and
bustling little lakeside town with pretty town
houses and the Forum Würth with its unique art
collection.
The beautiful countryside with the Rhine and
Rhine Falls, the unique historical charm of the
medieval towns of Schaffhausen and Stein am
Rhein, the fresh, fruity wines of Schaffhausen’s
Blauburgunderland and so much more –
Schaffhauserland is a small paradise that offers
surprisingly unique experiences.

The best way to discover
Eastern Switzerland is by public transportation. Your Swiss
Pass, day pass or regional ticket
allows you to travel in the region
with just a single ticket.
Switzerland Travel System –
Swiss Pass
The Swiss Pass is the key to trouble-free travel by public transport
throughout Switzerland. With a single ticket visitors can travel 4, 8, 15 or
22 days or a whole month throughout the entire country by train, bus and
boat. The ticket includes the popular panorama routes such as the Pre-Alpine Express from St.Gallen to Lucerne or the lake tour from Schaffhausen
to St.Gallen, as well as travel on trams and buses in no fewer than 75
towns and cities, including St.Gallen and Schaffhausen. In addition, Swiss
Pass holders are entitled to free admission to more than 470 museums
nationwide and a 50% reduction on most mountain railways. Children
under the age of 16 travel free of charge with the complimentary Swiss
Family Card. For more information: swisstravelsystem.com.
The Swiss Pass can be purchased for your clients through a worldwide
network of General Sales Agents: www.raileurope.fr/wheretobuy

The fortress called Munot, is the landmark of
the city of Schaffhausen. No other town in
Switzerland came anywhere near building a
structure of such monumental grandeur in
the 16th century.
Europe's greatest falls. The Rhine Falls – what
a magnificent sight! Across a width of 150 m an
enormous mass of water plunges downwards
over the rocks – with a thunderous roar!

Ring Train S4
With the introduction of the urban railway,
S-Bahn St.Gallen, we have the first circular line
in Switzerland. It goes around Mount Säntis
and connects Sargans, Uznach, Wattwil and
St.Gallen.
In around three hours, travel through Eastern
Switzerland with the S4 and discover the beautiful landscapes. Travel from St.Gallen to the hilly
Toggenburg, and through the ‘dead straight’
Ricken tunnel to Uznach. After a hairpin bend
continue further along the lake called Walensee –
with the Churfirsten mountains on one side and
Pizol on the other – to Sargans, from where the
S4 then makes its way back through the plains
of the Rhine Valley to St.Gallen. At the end, you
even get a glimpse of Lake Bodensee. You can
also make the whole trip in reverse order.

UNESCO Tour
Three World Cultural Heritage Sites. By car,
drive from Schaffhausen along Lake Bodensee
in the direction of ‘Lindau/Meersburg’. After a
few kilometres, you will reach Unteruhldingen.
In June 2011, UNESCO recognised a total of
111 pile dwelling sites in six Alpine countries
as a cross-border World Cultural Heritage Site,
under the name of «Prehistoric pile dwellings
around the Alps». One of them is located in
Unteruhldingen.
After a short drive, you will arrive in Meersburg.
Magnificent castle facilities, small, idyllic
alleyways and beautiful settings, right by Lake
Bodensee, await you.
Eastern Switzerland
for drivers
From Meersburg, take the ferry to Konstanz and
drive to Reichenau Island. Vines and lettuce
fields alternate here with precious, ancient
churches. The venerable monastery has belonged to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage
since 2000.
Continue on to St.Gallen. Here, the tour ends
in the Abbey Precincts, which were listed as a
UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1983.
The unique architectural ensemble of the abbey,
including the monastery church, abbey library
and archives, is typical of the Baroque period.
Grand Tour of Switzerland
Travel on the ‘Grand Tour’ and enjoy the
section along the lakeside of the Swiss
part of Lake Bodensee, from the largest waterfall in Europe – the Rhine Falls – via the
medieval towns of Schaffhausen and Stein
am Rhein, via Kreuzlingen and further on
to Romanshorn and St.Gallen.
From the Rhine Falls continue along the Rhine
to one of the most beautiful medieval towns
in Switzerland – Stein am Rhein. Next, continue
along Lake Bodensee until Arbon and enjoy the
views of the idyllic countryside and small
villages. Your final stage ends in St.Gallen.

In the wine-growing villages of Osterfingen,
Wilchingen, Trasadingen and Hallau, wine tasting sessions and winery tours can be enjoyed. In
Hallau learn about the history of Schaffhausen
wine in the Wine Museum (check the opening hours). In Schleitheim visit the only former

Lake Bodensee Tour
The Lake Bodensee tour starts in St.Gallen.
The trip takes you – as its name suggests – from
St.Gallen on Lake Bodensee along the Austrian
border and on to Bregenz.
From St.Gallen, drive to Bregenz. After a stroll in
the Old Town and along the lake promenade in
Bregenz, the tour continues on to Germany.
In just 15 minutes you will reach Lindau.
Lindau’s Old Town is situated on the approxi
mately 70-hectare Lindau Island. Centuries-old
buildings, historic squares and romantic alleyways conjure up an almost Mediterranean flair.
Continue, and after half an hour you will reach
the town of Friedrichshafen. Count Ferdinand
von Zeppelin is inseparably connected with the
history of Friedrichshafen – as, long ago, he built
his airships here. A visit to the Zeppelin Museum
is a must. After half an hour by ferry across Lake
Bodensee you will reach Romanshorn.
Following your stay in Romanshorn, it’s back
to St.Gallen. Enjoy the evening there and
discover the culinary variety in a traditional
first-floor restaurant.

Gonzen Mine tour
Iron-rich rock was discovered in and on Mount Gonzen as early as 2000
years ago. Up until 1966, iron ore was mined here profitably. This created

are offered, including a short railway station ride and a two-day tour with a
night spent in the mountain itself. www.bergwerk-gonzen.ch

INCENTIVE TRAVEL
Visit the Cheese Maker in Appenzell
Appenzeller Schaukäserei, Dorf 711,
9063 Stein AR
Psst! The best-kept secret is about to be revea
led! From the visitors’ gallery of the Appenzell
cheese factory you can watch how Appenzell
cheese is made. You can look directly into the
6,000-litre cheese vat, where the milk is processed and the cheese harp is pulled through the
thickened mass. The view from six metres up
onto 13,500 portions of maturing cheese is particularly impressive. Book a guided presentation
on cheese production, including film and slide
show (approx. 1 hour) and afterwards enjoy our
traditional cheese tasting or a unique cheese
and Mostbröckli (beef) aperitif.

more. ’Music’ classes, sound wellness, a sound
festival and even a sound forge. And naturally
harmonious holidays that resonate within you
long after…
