Biking Tours The Weinfelden region includes the center of the canton with the Thur valley and the neighboring ridges of the Ottenberg including the plateau south of the Thur. As early as the 9th century, river channels were built in the plain in order to make the water power of the river available to the emerging industry. As a result, many trade and industrial enterprises emerged in the upcoming region and give the Thur region its character. Along the Ottenberg, numerous vineyards characterize the landscape. Along the watercourse, charming biking routes were designed that are connected to the surrounding regions and build a tightly woven and attractive route network. Thur Round Trip

Inline Skate LAS InlineDrom - A Mecca for Inline skaters A new jewel has been added to the inline skating paradise Thurgau – the LAS InlineDrom, the world’s first roofed and standardized inline rink. In addition to the signalized routes "one-eleven" and "Slow-up", inline skaters now enjoy skating in every weather. The LAS Inline-Drom in the Güttingersreuti neighborhood in Weinfelden was opened in June 2006. The new inline skating rink is available to professionals and pleasure skaters for competitions, training or simply for fun. On Wednesdays, the national team has its training session with subsequent races. For the approximately 1,000 active Swiss professional skaters, the LAS InlineDrom is a dream come true. It enables trainings and competitions all year around. Christoph Luginbühl, an internationally successful skater from the Thurgau, is very enthusiastic: «The Drom is unique in Switzerland after similar projects failed elsewhere.» The LAS InlineDrom is multifunctionally designed and stages events such as concerts or sports events. This multifunctional dimension has already been proven at the opening celebration on June 11, 2006. For the multi-purpose use, the InlineDrom is equipped with the most modern technologies, such as time measuring systems for tournaments and lightning systems for large events.
