Tips

Bodenseebiker Thurgau

July 26, 2020

The silent witness of the time "Grandmother fir at Salen-Reuten"
At almost 48 meters, approx. 300 years and over 4 meters in circumference, it is the oldest fir in the canton of Thurgau. For comparison, the Napoleon tower has a height of 40 meters. When the canton of Thurgau became independent in 1803, the fir already existed and survived not only storms and wars but also the very cold years. 3x Lake Constance completely froze in 1830, 1880 and finally in 1963 the moon landing, industrialization and digitization. The last few years are numbered, however, the drought in 2018 left very clear traces.

Short, worthwhile detour slightly into the forest (small signpost + information board).
