Visit Switzerland

Can you really ride a cow? We spent 24 hours on a Swiss farm in Schaffhausen to find out, and slept in a silo with the roof off. 🐄✨ Our home for the day: Bolderhof in Hemishofen, a family-run organic farm in the Schaffhausen countryside. Up to 300 animals live here: horned cows in every colour, a calf born just last week, and even water buffaloes (not something you see every day in Switzerland). In German there's a saying for things that seem impossible: «Ich glaube mein Schwein pfeift», literally ""I think my pig is whistling."" Riding a cow felt exactly like that. Before saddling up, we asked farmer Manuel whether riding a cow is actually OK. His answer: only with cows that know you, are used to it and are ridden regularly, and always with respect. So we joined the morning routine first: bringing the herd in from the pasture, a shower, a brush, and a thank-you. Then it was time for cow trekking… and yes, if a cow decides it's going into the cornfield, it's going. Without asking. Along the way: Swiss cow facts (farmers really do name their cows, and Max and Bella lead the list – what would you name yours? 👇), a farm-fresh dinner, a kart race we definitely won, and a convertible silo room for sleeping under the stars. Or the rain. 0:00 Riding a cow?! 1:08 Arriving at Bolderhof in Hemishofen 1:38 Meet the cows (and water buffaloes) 2:13 Swiss cow facts: names, smell & 330° vision 3:24 Our silo hotel room 4:10 Farm dinner & buffalo meat 4:41 The kart race 5:06 A night in the silo 5:38 Is riding a cow OK?

For Switzerland Tourism, she vlogs her way through Swiss activities and lesser-known corners of the country – sometimes solo, but mostly with her boyfriend Jan (cow rider in training and self-declared kart race champion). From solo hiking in the Aletsch region to cow trekking in Schaffhausen: if there's something to try in Switzerland, chances are Marina has already said yes to it. 🏔️🐄 🇨🇭 Liked this video?
