Trail tip for the weekend: Rhine bank trail to Schaffhausen

Thursday is weekend planning day! In this case, Ride recommends the Rheinufer Trail from Eglisau to Schaffhausen. The upcoming Sunday in particular offers the best conditions for this. The route impresses with an enormous amount of singletrack, all of which is flowy and fun. The fitter riders change banks for the return journey, while the more leisurely riders take the train. A first-class spring tour!

The Rheinufer Trail is one of the highlights in the Zurich Unterland. Almost the entire route between Eglisau and Schaffhausen rides along single trails. And on both sides of the river. In other words: If you ride from Eglisau to Schaffhausen, you do so on the right-hand side on the outward journey and then on the left-hand side on the return journey. This adds up to almost 50 kilometers of trails! These are all easy to ride and largely flat - ideal for a fun start to the new season. If the whole tour is too much for you, hop on the train in Schaffhausen and get a ride back. Speaking of trains: the tour starts in Eglisau, which is well served by the S-Bahn from Zurich.

Weather for the Schaffhausen region at the weekend

Cloudy at first on Saturday. Increasingly sunny spells during the day. Around 11 degrees. On Sunday mostly sunny, occasionally extensive, in the very north partly denser high cloud fields. Local fog banks in the morning. Around 15 degrees.
