    Here you are standing on the Thur Bridge, so actually not yet in the old town, which is well worth seeing. But ideal as a photo point.

      Founded around 1200 by the Toggenburgers on a rock spur on the Thur. Since 1468 part of the Abbey of St. Gallen, since 1803 district capital of Neutoggenburg. The old town closes in a semicircle against the slope and was originally protected by a moat and wall.
