With 200 km of surfaced and signposted routes for inline skaters, 900 km of marked bike trails and more than 1,000 km of footpaths, the Thurgau-Lake Constance region is ideal for active holidaymakers.
Those wishing to explore under their own steam can tackle the 24 stages of the Thurgau Circular Hike. Others seeking a more meditative experience should book the Thurgau Pilgrim Package, and follow, free of luggage, the Way of St. James from Kreuzlingen to the top of the Hörnli. As one might expect in a region famous for its orchards, gourmets are in for a treat, with 19 GaultMillau-rated establishments. And to round all this off? Perhaps a dessert of the cultural variety: a visit to the newly opened grounds of Schloss Arenenberg, former home of Napoleon III.
