Boat trip Rheinfelden - Basel

Big lock trip.

The boat departs from the center of Basel and reaches Rheinfelden after 2.5 hours. On the way, guests enjoy a fantastic view of the Swiss and German sides of the Rhine. Beautiful landscapes, small villages and towns pass by. Another highlight: the two locks at Birsfelden and Augst are passed on the journey from Basel to Rheinfelden.
