Swiss Alpine Cow Descent: Discover a Living Tradition in Flimserstein 🐮🔔🇨🇭
Sounds easy enough… until @marrcozzy gets on the water. 😅 In Schaffhausen @schaffhauserland, he discovers the Weidling – a traditional wooden boat where old craftsmanship is still part of life on the Rhine.
No engine. No sail. Just a very long pole and a boat design that goes back centuries 🚣
In Schaffhausen, a centuries-old wooden boat still belongs on the Rhine — and the people who know how to move with it still keep the tradition afloat. In this episode of This Is Not A Travel Show, Marco travels to Schaffhausen to find out why. Marco loves finding out why people do the things they do. Sometimes, the answers are found on the water. For the second episode of This Is Not A Travel Show, Marco meets Hanna, who takes him onto the Rhine in a Weidling – a traditional wooden boat that has been part of life on the river for centuries. He also meets Oliver, who still builds Weidlinge by hand in his workshop. Together, they talk about the craft behind the boats, and why some traditions are worth keeping afloat. Along the way, Marco attempts to navigate a Weidling, explains how to float down the Rhine without a boat, and is joined by his dog Phoebe, who is experiencing all of this for the first time as well – and seems suspiciously good at it. Because this is not a travel show. It’s a show about Weidlinge, the Rhine and a dog on a boat. Well… at least for this episode. 📍 This trip took place in Schaffhausen @schaffhauserland – explore it here: https://schaffhauserland.ch/ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:18 Meeting Hanna in Schaffhausen 01:42 A short history of the Weidling 03:04 Out on the water 06:02 How to Float 07:31 Meet Oli, the boatbuilder 08:07 Building a Weidling by hand 11:16 Outro Marco is an author, spoken word artist and podcaster from Thun – and happiest somewhere in the mountains without reception.

Nestled on the edge of Italy, 📍Castasegna in Graubünden is where landscape, architecture and tradition quietly intertwine – earning its place on the Swiss Inventory of Heritage Sites of National Importance (ISOS). Surrounded by centuries-old chestnut forests 🌰, the village was shaped by a culture rooted in the chestnut – once vital for local livelihoods. Historic cascine, elegant villas and narrow stone streets still tell its story. Save this for your next trip to Bregaglia ✨
