Cycling day trip from Stein am Rhein to Neuhausen

This scenic ride takes you from the charming medieval town of Stein am Rhein—famous for its half-timbered houses and vibrant painted facades—over to Neuhausen, best known for Switzerland’s thundering natural wonder, the Rhine Falls.

The 24-kilometer route mostly rolls over quiet roads and tracks, keeping things peaceful and traffic-light almost the whole way. Expect a bit of a workout, as you’ll steadily climb just over 300 meters—nothing too steep, but enough to get the legs moving. Most of the ride is on smooth asphalt, though you’ll hit some gravel stretches, so a hybrid or trekking bike is a good call.

As you roll into Neuhausen, treat yourself to a view of the famous Rhine Falls—Europe’s largest waterfall. If you have time, lock up your bike and get closer to the roar! All in all, it’s a rewarding ride that blends history, river views, and one epic natural finish line.
