Spoiled by the weather – this is how you can summarize our climate. The summers on the Upper Rhine are sunny and can get hot. The Rhine swimming area on the other side of the Rhine, in Stein-Säckingen, Switzerland, is an ideal place to swim and daydream. From there you have the most beautiful view of the old city and the minster and it is easy to let your thoughts to flow along the great river and its currents.
