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.

- Aadorf, in the west, offering rural charm and strong links to Zürich and Winterthur
