Con
so much to see for a few hours
In a nutshell
A nice place to stop by for an hour or two
mauro_pd Says: Beside watching all those beautiful buildings I do not really know what I could suggest you while staying in Stein AR.This "getting luck" activity can last no more than 1 minute but it seems it is mandatory ... play with the dog and you'll get lucky. And so Felicitas does !
moacha Says: From the station,the bus of going to Rhein fall, has started and reaches in 10 minutes. Here is the origin in the Rhein River, and you can do " Rhein River going down " if you equip lifesaving tools. Here, the Rhein river is a rapid stream. I was so fearful that the step...
Kiriel Says: The Monastery St George lies on the edge of town, and is well worth exploration. Originally built in the 12th century, it was a Benedictine Abbey for 400 years before the reformation hit. Fortunately the reformation didn't strip it of all its beauty, and the spectacular...
SurfaceTravel Says: This is a 12th century castle up on the hill on the north side of the River Rhein, overlooking the town. There was a restaurant there on one of the top floors, with open windows and fantastic views of the river and the town. The restaurant is closed for renovations until...
orlikins Says: There is one hell of a breeze coming down the Rhine to Lake Constance when you stand on this bridge, but the panoramic view of the river is amazing.
Stadtbrunnen - the Town Fountain
orlikins Says: There is a little statue of a local soldier on the fountain in the main square of Stein am Rhein, dating from 16th Century.
amsterdam_vallon Says: Built in the 12c, this Romanisch Basilica was transforms several times. Interesting painting around 1450 in the choir and in the north chapel.
amsterdam_vallon Says: Impressively, slate framework construction with plank stand wall at the west side; outwardly since 1662 few changes.Was home of the coppersmiths from 1803 to 1861.
Rheingerbe: Best view over the river
mauro_pd Says: Let me be honest once more: I did not want to sit at this reaturant, cause it looks exactly how a tourist trap should look.But the grandma convinced me and the rest of the crew to take some rest and having at least a glass of wine here ... and so it was the full meal.Good...
Restaurant Felsen: In the heart of Stein am Rhein
www.gegosi.ch Says: A very old Restaurant. Local food and wine.
orlikins Says: I can only speak about Stuttgart > Stein am Rhein here, but if you're in Baden Wuerttemburg, you could take a day down to this beautiful part of Switzerland. If you want to take the train from Stuttgart, the fastest way is to change at Winterthur or at Singen. This will...
orlikins Says: We drove straight down from Stuttgart to Ramsen (CH) first then Stein am Rhein was only a short drive away.It is about 2-2.5 hours from Stuttgart.
mauro_pd Says: I'm not that proud of being italian, you know ... but the few things we are supposed to do better are: pizza, pasta & mafia.Well, I think nobody tries to counter attack for pizza & mafia, but in this shop it seems thay wanna steal our place for pasta ... shame on them...
orlikins Says: it is actually quite windy along the river, especially on the bridge, so learn from my mistake and have a warm wrap or jacket with you
orlikins Says: This pic was taken from the German side of the lake, Switzerland is across the water.I think we were about 80km away from Stein am Rhein at this point.
orlikins Says: This church is on the German side of Lake Constance, and it overlooks the lake. Here is an interesting link below, though it's only in German.
amsterdam_vallon Says: Stein am Rhein is a star sight for the beautiful frescoes on the old building in and around the Rathausplatz. If you have some time and want to enjoy the old town, the best and only way to do that is to follow the walking tour shown on that map. The Monuments 1)...
orlikins Says: I love the way the old town has been preserved so well and it is not too tacky; although I can imagine it can be overrun with bus tours during the summer! was not there long enough!
