    The route starts at the train station, directly on the shore of Arbon. Within a few meters, you pass the Saurer Museum, which is definitely worth a visit.

    The path leads past the swimming pool towards Buchhorn lido, where the sun terrace invites you to enjoy a coffee or a delicious ice cream. On the lake path, it goes on to Egnach Seehorn, then continues through Mostindien to Roggwil. Upon arriving in Roggwil, the Echinapoint experience garden invites you to visit. From here, the path goes uphill towards Roggwilerwald. From the Weiherholz firepit, you can enjoy a wonderful view over Arbon and the lake.

    After a visit to the MoMö, the Swiss cider and distillery museum, and the experience garden, the last part of the route leads through the old town of Arbon back to the train station.

    Author’s recommendation

    There is much to discover on this route. Besides the museums and the route itself, barbecuing in the Roggwilerwald with a view over Arbon is a highlight.
