Rhine Falls hosts the public Schnagga-Sunntig action day on 18 October 2026 in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, with activities planned on both sides of the river. The event runs from 11am to 5pm and is open to visitors. It links the waterfall's two viewing areas with a programme designed for the local community and day-trippers.
Schnagga-Sunntig brings both Rhine Falls banks together
The organiser describes Schnagga-Sunntig as a joint action day on both sides of Rhine Falls and a thank-you to the surrounding population. The event page names Schlössli Wörth in Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Laufen Castle in Dachsen as venues for Sunday, 18 October 2026.
The public programme is confirmed by the Rhine Falls events calendar, which lists the event from 11am to 5pm. The castle operator also presents the day as a programme of culinary specialities, music and entertainment across the Rhine Falls setting.
The event follows the natural divide at Rhine Falls
Rhine Falls stretches across a broad section of the High Rhine between Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Laufen Castle. The falls are approximately 150 metres wide, while Schlössli Wörth and Laufen Castle provide separate points from which visitors can approach the water.
That geography gives the October programme its defining feature: the event is not confined to one hall or one bank. The public day uses the two established Rhine Falls locations as its framework, while the operator's page identifies a small round trip from Schlössli Wörth and a ferry crossing between the banks as part of its offer. The falls themselves remain the fixed natural centre between the activities.
The regional tourism profile records the waterfall's width and its position between Laufen Castle and Schlössli Wörth. The official visitor information also confirms that the site at Schlössli Wörth is accessible around the clock throughout the year.
