The starting point for the river trip is the town of Bad Säckingen, which is over 1100 years old. The passenger boat "Trompeter von Säckingen" takes you to the historic wooden bridge, where the boat turns round and the journey down the Rhine begins. Past idyllically situated communities on the German and Swiss banks to the Wehramündung nature reserve with its reed belt. The viewer's gaze repeatedly wanders to the foothills of the Black Forest and the heights of the Hotzenwald. The short boat trip now takes you past Schönau Castle and on to Wallbach and Schwörstadt, where the boat turns for the return journey. Drinks are available in the on-board restaurant during the cosy round trip. Music and a bar make the trip an unforgettable experience.
Departure is always at 14:30 below the castle park on the Rhine promenade. The boat trip ends back in Bad Säckingen at around 4.30 pm.
Special breakfast cruises also take place on the boat once a month.
