Rüedi - Fasstastische Ferien

Sleeping in an old barrel

Presentation Practical information
Like Diogenes in his barrel... at the German border

In the small wine-growing village of Trasadingen in the canton of Schaffhausen, barrels are transformed into overnight accommodations. Imposing, they can accommodate up to 36 people.
Mattresses, wool blankets, and pillows are provided; you only need to bring a sleeping bag.

Due to its success, the Rüedi family has increased the number of "barrels" and now offers you the choice of staying in the old barrels (Alte Fässer) or the new barrels (Neue Fässer).
The old ones remain unchanged. However, the new ones are much more modern and offer a little more comfort and a bit less authenticity. You will find, among other things, a toilet, a shower, ... and a television in the rooms of the Neue Fässer.

Comments
The Rüedi is one of the very first hotels featured in our guide. The price has changed since 2007, as at the time you could only sleep in the old barrels and the cost was 26 CHF / person.
We are delighted to celebrate the success of this family who managed to repurpose their business, and most importantly, let people know about it!


18 km from Schaffhausen and the Rhine Falls.
