Great location right on the beach, pool and outdoor sauna overlooking the Baltic Sea, good breakfast, friendly staff ++
From Schaffhausen to Stein am Rhein, the cruise lasts 2h05 and in the other direction (descent) 1h15, depending on the strength of the current. The upstream part is quite wild and there are colonies of swans and several species of ducks. The boat tacks between the stakes topped with green and white panels which delimit the navigable section. The highlight of the route is the passage under the Diessenhofen Laagbrücke where the roof of the boat must be lowered almost to the height of the passengers' heads. Guaranteed sensation.
Go there, marvel, enjoy! If possible, book a ticket on the platform beforehand; unfortunately, machines are unreliable.
