What you can expect

Discover the location where the powerful Rhine River departs from Lake Constance, giving rise to the enchanting town of Stein am Rhein. Nestled like a gemstone along its banks, the town captivates visitors with its stunning lakefront vistas, impeccably preserved heritage buildings adorned with vibrant frescoes, and an unspoiled medieval core that sets it apart from any other. Initially little more than a fishing hamlet a millennium ago, the town's strategic position swiftly elevated its importance, making it a linchpin in the control of key trade routes during the Middle Ages—a prominence that has sustained its prosperity to the present day.
Admire the city hall's striking red façade, terracotta gabled roof, and intricate oriel windows. Wander through a labyrinthine network of cobblestone lanes and marvel at the meticulously preserved medieval murals adorning the facades of numerous residences. Delve deeper into the town's history and uncover how Emperor Henry II played a seminal role in its development more than a thousand years ago.
