Walk in Toggenburg upstream along the Thur to the Thur waterfall.
A natural spectacle of a special kind is offered by the barrier-free walk to the Thur waterfall in Toggenburg. The path follows the Thur upstream through meadows, forest, and rocks. The destination is the impressive Thur waterfall, which plunges over the rocks into the depths – especially impressive and recommended after rain. The route is ideal for families, nature lovers, and those seeking peace – also accessible with strollers or wheelchairs. Quiet spots along the way invite you to linger.
Author’s recommendation
They are worth seeing at any time, but those who want to experience the full force of the elements up close are recommended to visit after rain.
