Tössegg

Tössegg is a restaurant and tourism office located where the Töss River meets the Rhine in Freienstein-Teufen. The establishment offers a terrace overlooking the Rhine and caters to hikers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts visiting north Zurich Canton.

The site was strategically important in ancient times, as evidenced by ruins of a Roman watchtower. This location at the meeting of two major rivers made it a key control point for Roman forces.

The restaurant serves traditional Swiss cuisine, and the tourism office offers information about hiking routes and outdoor activities in the region. Visitors can gather local insights and connect with other outdoor enthusiasts at this gathering point.

The location is easily accessible and offers ample parking for visitors. It serves well as a rest stop during hikes or cycling trips along the rivers.

This location marks where four municipalities meet - Buchberg, Eglisau, Rorbas, and Freienstein-Teufen - as well as the cantonal borders of Schaffhausen and Zurich. It is a rare spot where multiple administrative boundaries converge.
