The upper gate on the east side of the old town of Waldshut is also called Schaffhauser Tor. The eastern city gate was built on foundations from the 13th century. Above was the room of the tower keeper, who also watched over the Rhine and the city. The gate was the city prison until 1864.

The Upper Gate in Waldshut-Tiengen is an impressive historic city gate dating back to the 13th century. From here, you have a magnificent view of the city and the Rhine. The gate is located directly on Kaiserstraße and is easily accessible by bike.
