Tips

Bodenseebiker Thurgau
The ruin lies at 450 m above sea level. M. across the valley of the Seez on a rock spur steeply sloping to the north and east above the old trade route from Zurich to the Graubünden passes. Several finds from different eras indicate that Grapplang was already settled in prehistoric times and in the Bronze Age. The castle was built between 1100 and 1200.
