In Lottstetten, you can plan your journey and activities around specific local features: the cable ferry connects the district of Nack with Ellikon in Switzerland, the railway station is served by SBB, and the Rhine Cycle Route passes through the town. There are also sports facilities and, in clear weather, views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The ferry and train offer different scheduling considerations, the Rhine Cycle Route provides a route-related point of reference, and the sports facilities offer further activity options.
Planning around the ferry and train schedules
The cable ferry connects the Lottstetten district of Nack with Ellikon in Switzerland. It operates from 1 April to 15 October, with operating hours from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 12:45 to 19:00. There is a break between these two time windows, which you should take into account when choosing your planned ferry crossing. The service is seasonal and limited to these hours. Before travelling, check with the operator to confirm that the service is running on your travel date.
Lottstetten railway station is served by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). Trains on the Singen/Schaffhausen–Zurich route run hourly. The difference between the train and the ferry matters for planning: the train’s hourly service is the key consideration, while the ferry depends on the season and its operating hours. Before travelling, check the latest train departures so you can plan your journey according to the specific timetable.
Cycling and weather-dependent distant views

Local history in Waldshut
One additional historical point of interest in the wider Waldshut destination is Kaiserstraße: when it became a pedestrian zone in 1989, the town stream was moved back to the middle of the street and three fountains were built again. The combination of the pedestrian zone, the stream returned to its former course and the fountains offers a concrete glimpse of how the street was designed at the time. This historical perspective on the town complements Lottstetten’s transport and sports themes with a different viewpoint.
