Things to Do  

A few hours in Baden.

A few hours in Baden., Turgi

 dabidc Says:  Baden is a short bus journey or one stop on the rail line from Turgi. Actually from Will bei Turgi, it is faster to take the bus, the train is way down the hill. There is a terminus for the bus at the Baden rail station. A short walk from the railway station at Baden takes...

The Thermal Pool/Bath at Schinznach

The Thermal Pool/Bath at Schinznach, Turgi

 dabidc Says:  The Thermal pool is very much an automated entry system ,feed in your bank note for the length of time you desire, I believe you get 2 hours for 20 CHF, note you also have to pay any extra time you stay beyond your set time. So if you are on a budget, keep track of the time... 

Visit Schinznach for a long hot soak.

Visit Schinznach for a long hot soak., Turgi

 dabidc Says:  A special train picks up passengers at Turgi for a visit to some great Thermal Baths. It is a short distance away and well worth the visit. I believe the train runs every hour and takes maybe 30 minutes to get to Schinznach. 

View the garden and see the train items.

View the garden and see the train items., Turgi

 dabidc Says:  At the end of the steep hill from Wil down to Turgi ( is that the Devil steps?)there is a well kept garden with many flowers and shrubs, but there are also many pieces of equpment from a railway system . Nt sure if the house belongs to a retired railway worker or even if...

 dabidc Says:  I left Kloten airport at 11.00am and was in Turgi by 12.30, after a short siesta to catch up on jet lag, I was ready to climb the well wooded hills behind Turgi for a look over the valley. There were great stands of deciduous trees and wide paths to follow as we walked up...

Hasenberg Restaurant.: A Country Inn atop Hasenberg., Turgi

 dabidc Says:  What could be more Swiss than to be invited out by a wonderful Swiss couple, one a member of Vt, and to be taken to a delightful, rustic restaurant high on a hill in the general area of Dietikon. Actually not far by train from Turgi. The view from that restaurant, we had...

The walk just got a little wild.

The walk just got a little wild., Turgi

 dabidc Says:  The walk began to get move away from theriver(s), we climbed and then walked alongside the railway tracks, then a hotel and the field of corn. Finally a sign to the river, but which river was it as we climbed down the path. More erosion of the river bank and then an open... 

A walk on the easy side of the river.

A walk on the easy side of the river., Turgi

 dabidc Says:  The start of the walk was Turgi, just north of the railway station at the old covered bridge over the Limmat river. The plan was to stroll to see the meeting point where the Limmat, the Reuss and the Aare all joined into one river, called the Aare after that. The three towns... 

Sports & Outdoors  

River surfing

River surfing, Turgi

 dabidc Says:  To the best of my knowledge the newish sport of river surfing has not been tried on the Limmat near Turgi, but the water spilling over the weir could possibly be a location for its venue in this part of Switzerland. Since I am not an officianado of the sport or even know if...
