Tössegg

Tössegg marks the exact point where the Töss river joins the Rhine and forms a natural border between four different municipalities and two cantons. The site features a restaurant and provides access to both riverbanks along the water's edge.

Remains of a Roman watchtower southeast of the river confluence show the location's strategic importance for monitoring river traffic in ancient times. Its position at the river intersection made it a key observation post for the Romans.

The on-site restaurant serves traditional Swiss cuisine and offers a gathering space for residents and travelers near the flowing waters. The location draws visitors who seek to experience the river landscape and enjoy the outdoors together.

The location is accessible via multiple paths and offers good walking routes along both riverbanks for exploration. Visiting works year-round, though warmer months are preferred for water-based activities.

The WWF Beaver Path connects the site to Rüdlingen and lets visitors observe beavers and other river creatures in their natural habitat. This route demonstrates the return of these animals to the region after many decades of absence.
