Hiking
The Schwabentor on the edge of the old town was first mentioned in 1361 as the "Neuturm" and was part of the old city wall. The saying by the artist Arnold Oechslin, which has been emblazoned on the keystone of the northern archway since 1935, is well known far beyond Schaffhausen: "Lappi, open your eyes."
