Bischofszeller Wald

Forest

From the barbecue area to the Huserfelsen (Bischofszell - Oberbüren) a beautiful natural route always along the Thur. There is always the possibility to stop and take a break on a gravel bank by the water.

Huserfelsen Pass

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Here the path leads over a small pass, the Huserfelsen. It used to go through the bottom until the rock slipped and a new path was made through the top. …

Thur Riverside Trail

Highlight • Trail

It's not even remotely a trail, but it's definitely a nice gravel road between Bischofszell and Oberbüren along the Thur (Thurweg). Very good and easy to ride (even without a …

Hüslibrugg

Highlight • Bridge

Newer (not old!) simple Hüslibrugg (covered wooden bridge) over the Arneggerbach, which flows into the Thur shortly afterwards.

Waldkirch Golf Course

Highlight • Structure

There is no restaurant at this location (South Golf Course), the biker tip is wrong. The restaurant is on the main street further northwest!

March 22, 2025,⚡🚵‍♂️ Thur - Waldschenke ab Arnegg 🌞

After a three-day break due to the flu, I was back for a leisurely ride today, wearing shorts for the first time (but still with long sleeves on top).
This ride was my standard MTB ride around 30 years ago, obviously with younger leg strength back then, rather than today's electric bike.

March 29, 2023,🦵🚵‍♂️ 16-20 Grad und kein Regen ➡ grad recht um das bio🦵Bike zu bewegen...

My first bike tour Ü72 was fun.
Weather half nice, but quite warm, windy, paths relatively dry.
I did this lap in about an hour when I was young, 30 years ago 😉, currently a bit slower 🐌, but I still ride 🤩

August 9, 2023,⚡🚵‍♂️ Family-Firobig-Tour zur Waldschenke Bischofszell

Tour for three to the Waldschenke Bischofszell for a dinner. Return just before sunset.

April 6, 2022,🦵🚵‍♂️ Wieder einmal meine klassische Heimrunde an die Thur, begleitet von "weisser Watte"

Before the weather is supposed to get massively worse again, I did my classic home lap again, which I have been driving for 30 years now. However, 30 years ago I was still a little faster... but what the heck 😉
Weather (still) quite good with sun and partly clouds, 18-22° C warm, the snow is of course completely gone …

January 18, 2025,⚡🚵‍♂️ Nach dem 🎿🇨🇭🇨🇭 eine kurze kalte Runde

Today I watched the mountains on TV for once, during the famous 🎿🇨🇭🇨🇭 victory on the Lauberhorn 🤩
Short because cold lap 🥶 under the fog at 0°C, doable as far as it goes, but of course not a real pleasure in this cold and without sun.

November 4, 2023,⚡🚵‍♂️ Kleine Heimrunde an die Thur

The weather was initially acceptable, but towards the end there were raindrops, so the tour was not extended any further. Meanwhile, mid-winter clothing is a good choice...

February 9, 2024,⚡🚵‍♂️ Testrunde mit neuem Motor

I recently had an engine failure on my Bulls bike with a Brose engine after only 11,000 km.
As it now turns out, it wasn't the suspected timing belt that was defective, but rather the housing was broken (!). As far as I know, such damage (timing belt, cracked housing) is quite common with Brose engines, even though they are …

May 23, 2022,🦵🚵‍♂️ Heimrunde vor dem Gewitter

Again my classic home tour with the bioBike, also to find out a barbecue area.
Weather muggy at 26-30-20° C, approaching thunderstorm front, towards the end some rain, but when the hailstorm came I was already at home. The rain radar forecast was wrong again, it came an hour too early....
