If you are only looking for hiking trails in Thurgau South, you're making a mistake. The TKB Country Skate is not only a local skate route, it also forms an alternative to the 3 Mittelland Skate route. It connects the Murgtal, Wil, the Hinterthurgau and Bichelsee to the national route network from each side. So if you want to avoid urban skating through Winterthur on the national route, you can choose the quieter, more pleasant option over the TKB Country Skate to Turbenthal and leisurely skate through the Tösstal onto the Zürich Oberland.

The TKB Country Skate design involves a simple, flat section between Frauenfeld and Matzingen and then leads into a slightly elevated, contoured terrain in beautiful landscape imagery. It is astounding just how deeply you can see into the Alpstein area from here.

The southern section mostly covers cycle paths, often parallel to roads. It goes without saying that a perfect bathing area awaits in Bichelsee, where you can relax and top up your energy levels with a barbecued sausage followed by a cool dip. Up until Turbenthal, the path then mostly follows a separate cycle path.
