SwitzerlandMobility 40: Thur Canoeing

**Previously straightened along its entire course, the Thur now flows in a lovingly renatured bed. The river winds through an idyllic landscape between large gravel banks. Gentle rapids alternate with calmer stretches. On beautiful beaches, you can wonderfully rest, swim, or cook a sausage over the campfire. Please pay attention to nature reserves and do not enter them. The beaver also likes it here. It has been successfully reintroduced, and with watchful eyes, you will often be able to spot its gnawing traces.

After a few kilometers, the Thur flows into the Rhine, and the journey continues on the mighty river. You now paddle between forested banks, interspersed with picturesque vineyards. Nestled within are peaceful villages with their typical half-timbered houses, forming a romantic postcard landscape. On beautiful weekends, this section of the river is so popular that recreation seekers can be found everywhere in and on the water.
