Schlössli Wörth at Rhein Falls by boats
Dan is planning a trip to visit the Rhine Falls in September and wants to know how to get from Schaffhausen to Worth castle by train or bus. He is also concerned about the climbing involved since he and his companions are in their 70s.
- You can take a boat from Schloss Laufen to Schlössli Wörth, which offers good views of the falls.
- There are some steps and an elevator at Schloss Laufen, but there are benches to rest if needed.
- Consider using the Swiss Travel Pass for convenient travel options and discounts on boat tickets.

How do you get from Schaffhausen to Worth castle by train or bus?
We want to visit the Falls in September and were hoping we could get a view from Worth castle, then visit Schloss Laufen afterwards.
Is much climbing involved as we are all in our 70s?
Thank you
Dan

Hi Dan,
You can use the boats to travel from one side to the other. If you are coming from Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall then first you can use an elevator then there will be some steps too before you reach the boats. The boats can take you to the other side of the river, to Schlössli Wörth.
If you feel stamina, you can even walk around: http://www.myswissalps.com/rhinefalls
On the Schlössli Wörth side, you’ll find several banks where you can take a rest if you need it.

Can you get a boat from Schloss Laufen to Schloss Worth? Do they offer return travel back to Laufen? How much is the return trip? Do you get a good view of the falls from here?
Thank you
Yes there is a boat
It can all be found on G*****le maps/street view, including pictures so you can see the type of steps you might have to climb:
Hi Ldgrunseit,
yes, you can use the boats to cross the river or even to have a round tour on the river. There are different routes, indicated by colors. I highly recommend to try one that goes closer to the Rhein Falls. I’ve attached a picture for you. I’ve tried the blue line several times, it was amazing. Then we crossed the river on the red line. The prices were quite reasonable as far as I remember. You can buy the boat tickets on the spot.
There are also guided tours, you find the prices of them here: http://www.myswissalps.com/rhinefalls/tickets.
