Gorge with waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Not so clearly visible because something has grown together. The little detour from the official Via Rhenana route should be made if you like waterfalls.

A wildly romantic ravine that was closed for a long time due to a landslide and is now open to the public again. Wild chamois live in the ravine and I was able to observe them.

A beautiful barbecue area on the Murg, especially on the small islet surrounded by water, a great place!
Also with access to the Murg with beautiful rocks and the waterfall of the weir.

There is a new route, if you come from the west it's not that clear. Take the left path behind the recycling center.

The more than 50-meter-deep ravine near Wellenberg Castle is "an impressive example of the erosive power of the small Thurgau streams," writes the Cantonal Office of Thurgau

Wellenberg Castle in Frauenfeld - experience and enjoyment in the unique historical, natural surroundings. Marriage in a historical setting takes on a very special meaning. The traffic-free, stylish surroundings and the suitably decorated castle hall create a contemplative, festive and unforgettable atmosphere. Civil marriages are carried out in cooperation with the civil registry office of the district of Frauenfeld. The aperitif lets you enjoy the beautiful moments in life. In front of the majestic castle facade, under the shady chestnut trees, or in the historic and rustic rooms, an aperitif becomes an impressive experience. The guided tour through the house museum and through the vaulted cellar in the castle, accompanied by detailed explanations, brings the past 800 years to life. The private forest park with its natural fountain and three waterfalls can also be visited, provided you have good shoes. The armory of the Peter Kunz Firearms Foundation houses firearms with originals and replicas from 1200 to 1900. This collection can be described as unique to show the historical and technical development of firearms. Early registration is required for the above offer! The public events, such as the historical handicraft and goods market or the festival of the senses, offer the opportunity to experience, learn and enjoy without registering.
