Live Cams in Thurgau

Thurgau is a tranquil canton in northeastern Switzerland, lining the southern edge of Lake Constance. It is bordered by Germany to the north, St. Gallen to the south and east, Schaffhausen to the west, and Zürich to the southwest. Its position blends Swiss charm with cross-border links, making it a region that is both culturally rich and naturally beautiful.

Often described as Switzerland’s apple orchard, Thurgau rolls with farmland dotted by fruit trees, vineyards, and gentle hills. The capital, Frauenfeld, is a compact yet lively town famed for its historic old town, a castle, and an annual open-air music festival. Situated near the canton’s heart, it serves as a convenient base for exploring the surrounding countryside.

Beyond Frauenfeld, several other important towns stand out:
- Kreuzlingen, perched on Lake Constance and connected to the German city of Konstanz
- Arbon, known for its lakeside promenade and Roman history
- Romanshorn, a lakeside town and transport hub with ferry services
- Amriswil, inland and growing, with a mix of industry and residential areas
- Weinfelden, notable for its vineyards and wine traditions
- Aadorf, in the west, offering rural charm and strong links to Zürich and Winterthur
