The municipality of Thal, with its location directly on Lake Constance - in the border triangle of Austria, Germany and Switzerland...

Village of the vine

The landmark of Thal, the Buechberg, with the Steinig Tisch viewing restaurant, is impossible to miss. From here, there is an incomparable view of the Appenzeller Vorderland, Lake Constance and far beyond to Germany and Austria. The extensive vineyards on the southern slope of the Buechberg have earned Thal the nickname "village of the vine".

The municipal administration is based in the town hall, in the listed row of houses on the church square. The parish church next door, with its Gothic choir and baroque interior, tells a thousand years of history. The foundations date back to the 7th century.

Pupils from all over the municipality attend secondary school in the village of Thal.
Retirement and nursing homes offer good care and enable people to remain in familiar surroundings even in old age.

The village is also characterized by viticulture and the local museum, which is located right next to the traditional Ochsen restaurant.

The latest fair in Eastern Switzerland takes place in Thal every year in mid-November. A large winegrowers' festival is organized at longer intervals.
