| Schaffhausen - Eastern Switzerland / Liechtenstein |
The biggest waterfall in Europe is nearby "Munot", the impressive mediaeval fortress towers over Schaffhausen Old Town. The houses in the Old Town are richly adorned with bow windows and expensively painted house-fronts.
 The narrow alleys invite you to stroll, shop and sit around. In Summer, the centre of town is traffic-free and becomes a pocket-sized Paris boulevard.
Anyone who appreciates peace and quiet can go and sit in the Herbal Garden of the former All Saints Monastery or visit its museum with its rich collection.
