Highlight • Viewpoint

View up to the observation hill (Hoger), from a nice simple road. Walk up to the Hoger (worth it).

Allenwinden is a hub for many walks, e.g. Thurgau Tannzapfenweg, Hörnli, Tösstal. The restaurant Kreutz is unfortunately closed since 2011. The short ascent to the lookout point with the lonely tree and Bänkli is worthwhile.

Groot - Highest point in the canton of Thurgau (991.1 m)

Highlight • Summit

Groot - Highest Point in the Canton of Thurgau
With the Groot (991.1 m), we head to the highest elevation in the Canton of Thurgau: literally "the Top of Mostindien." Interestingly, about 10 m further on lies the so-called ridge, which is also the highest point of the elevation. It rises 5 m higher than the Groot and is located entirely in Mosnang, or rather, in the Canton of St. Gallen. On this tour, we explore the idyllic Tössberg region.

Ottenegg Viewpoint with Marian Column

Highlight • Viewpoint

Statues of the Virgin Mary on the Ottenegg and at the Marienbrunnen Fountain
The statue of the Virgin Mary on the high column was completely restored in the spring of 2021 by the Fischingen Monastery Association. The statue, erected in 1887, likely dates back to a movement that wasn't entirely confident about the emerging democratic state, which had forced the dissolution of the monastery in 1848. The aim was to counteract the suppression of religious influence from people's everyday lives with strong religious symbols in prominent locations. The Marian apparitions of 1858 in Lourdes were ideal for this purpose. With their eyes on Lourdes, Thurgau Catholics felt connected to an international religious movement beyond their narrow borders. This strengthened their inner self-confidence.
Mary protects the land and its people high above Thurgau and reminds us that there is a higher power above the state. She is a guardian and a warning voice.
Both the Idda Chapel and the statue of Mary on Ottenegg stand on the land of the canton of Thurgau, which has granted the Fischingen Monastery Association a perpetual building permit.
The renovation is thanks to various generous donations. However, CHF 1,300 is still needed. Perhaps a generous donation can be found for this as well.
The statue of Mary on the fountain column in front of the monastery was also renovated. We can see this as an expression of gratitude that the founding of the St. Iddazell Association preserved the monastery for Catholics. At the same time, it also expresses trust that Mary will protect and promote the work that has been begun.
