Views that inspire

Breathtaking views await you in Thurgau , making your vacation experience unforgettable. Nestled between Lake Constance and the foothills of the Alps, there are panoramic views of the lake, vineyards, orchards and the Alpstein massif. Grab your camera, capture the moment and enjoy the wow effect.

Iselisberg near Uesslingen
The magnificent Iselisberg vineyard is located in the lower Thur valley near Frauenfeld. The region is particularly beautiful in the fall, when nature wears its golden robe. If you leave the main road and walk or cycle through the colorful vineyards between the two wineries Lenz and Hausammann, you will find a great photo spot.
Hike up the Hörnli
Those who make the hike to the Hörnli are rewarded with a magnificent view of the Säntis, the Schnebelhorn and the Töss Valley. With a bit of luck and in good weather conditions, you can even enjoy a panoramic view as far as the Jura, the Black Forest and the Allgäu.
Arenenberg Castle & Park
The view from Arenenberg Castle high above Ermatingen, Mannenbach and Salenstein is simply impressive. Even Napoleon III enjoyed this view when he spent his childhood here. Today, the Napoleon Museum with its large park and fantastic views is one of the most beautiful castles on Lake Constance. The best photo spots are located behind the museum by the round bench or slightly below the castle garden.
Napoleon Tower in Wäldi
Sometimes the perfect view requires a little effort. The viewing platform of the 36-metre-high Napoleon Tower can only be reached via 200 steps, but the view rewards every climb. When the weather is fine, you can enjoy a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view of the countryside, the lake and the Alps.
Chapel of the Virgin Mary in Klingenzell
The small pilgrimage site of Klingenzell above Mammern offers a wonderful view of Untersee and Stein am Rhein. A detour to the Marienkapelle chapel or the Hochwacht bunker is always worthwhile. The vantage points in this area always offer new, impressive views of the Untersee panorama.
Longest jetty in Altnau
The 270-metre-long jetty of the Schweizerische Bodensee Schifffahrt offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Constance and the surrounding shore. Both locals and visitors rave about the viewing platform, which has been described as the "horizontal Eiffel Tower of Lake Constance". The landmark of Altnaus is a real eye-catcher, especially at night, when the floor lighting transforms the footbridge into a glowing route of light.
Stählibuck tower near Frauenfeld
High up on Frauenfeld's local mountain, the "Stählibuck", sits the imposing Stählibuck Tower. Those who climb the 27-metre-high steel structure and 148 steps are rewarded with a magnificent view. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Bernese Alps from here.
Through the vineyards of Weinfelden
Whether Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir or Thurgau - the mild climate, the fertile soil and the craftsmanship of the winegrowers around the Ottenberg give the wines their special flavor. The picturesque view of the extensive vineyards makes the walk along the Weinfelden wine trail a pleasure for all the senses.
Rhine landscape near Diessenhofen
The Rhine meanders from Stein am Rhein to Schaffhausen and is reminiscent of tropical river landscapes. The view of the unspoiled nature and Untersee with its charming villages, including picturesque Diessenhofen, is particularly idyllic. Whether by rubber dinghy, wrap-around boat or scheduled boat - the region always offers new perspectives.
Commercial tower in Amriswil
The Amriswil Trade Tower is located in the south of Amriswil on the Schollenberg, 497 meters above sea level. The 19-metre-high wooden observation tower was built to mark the 100th anniversary of the trade association. From the top, there is an impressive view of Amriswil and the surrounding area as far as Lake Constance.
