Stretching from the foothills of the Alps to the southern shore of Lake Constance, Thurgau is a beautiful region in Switzerland. Here, fields of apple trees and orchards hug the road and wildflower meadows paint the landscape in pastel hues. By day, you cycle through the countryside overlooking the Alps. By night, you sleep in the most unusual accommodation you have ever slept in on a cycle tour.
In this Collection, we take you to quirky overnight stays – from a circus wagon to a treehouse, a farm and a monastery. Each of the accommodations is located on a cycling route so you can explore the Thurgau region, Lake Constance, and the foothills of the Alps on two wheels.
Both the accommodation and the cycling routes are perfect for a family holiday. On the Altnauer Apfelweg (Altnauer Apple Way), you can learn about fruit growing in the region and the Bluest Route will impress you with its fragrant fruit blossom. The Lake Constance Cycle Path takes you on a flat adventure around the edge of the lake. If you consider yourself a foodie, the East Switzerland Wine Route is for you. Finally, the Tour de Thurgau reveals the diverse landscapes of this stunning region.
Whether you want to cycle with the whole family, as a couple or alone, you will find idyllic rides, spectacular views, and unusual accommodation in Thurgau. Here, both the days and nights are unforgettable.
