1564 Munot Castle, Rhine River cruise boat after sunset. Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Europe.

After sunset, Munot Castle is floodlit in green above a cruise boat reflecting in the Rhine River in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Europe. The popular Untersee Lake-Rhine boat trip from Schaffhausen to Kreuzlingen is nearly 50 km long. Schaffhausen's iconic circular fortress, was built by forced labor in 1564-1589 after the religious wars of the Reformation. A steep stairway climbs from Old Town through vineyards to reach this impressive Renaissance castle. Schaffhausen was founded where trading ships had to set anchor because Rhine Falls blocked further travel.
