Old Rhine Riverside Path

Highlight • Trail

Not accessible during floods (e.g. also in summer 2021). But that is also the point of the alluvial forests: They are periodically flooded.

The Thurauen Nature Center is a program of the PanEco Foundation on behalf of the Canton of Zurich. For over 10 years, the nature center has been the gateway to the largest floodplain protection area in the Swiss Plateau - and thus the contact point for all information about the Thurauen, the revitalization and the protected area.

Thur Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

An anecdote about the Elliker Bridge: During the Second World War, the bridges near the border were charged with explosive charges. Fortunately, there was no need to actually trigger them. However, the Elliker bridge flew into the air because the explosive charge was struck by lightning shortly after the end of the war.
