Stählibuck excursion restaurant

The Stählibuck restaurant has everything a family's heart desires: a large selection of reasonably priced children's menus, various activities at the table, such as crayons for coloring, a play corner in the basement and a playground in the beautiful garden with a view of the Säntis. Goats, alpacas and a pig can be visited in the small animal enclosure next to the playground and, with a bit of luck, you can also watch the reindeer being fed in the morning or evening. The Stählibuck restaurant is also a good starting point for exploring the green surroundings or the imposing Stählibuck tower just a few minutes' walk from the restaurant. From the 27-metre-high tower, you have a wonderful panoramic view as far as the Alps.

If you want to observe nature, leave everyday life behind and relax for a day with your family, this is the place for you.

Country inn Wagenhausen

Lovingly prepared regional delicacies and wine from the family's own vineyard are served in the country inn directly on the Rhine. On warm, sunny days, the cozy sun terrace invites you to linger. The uncomplicated nature of the adjacent campsite can also be felt in the Landgasthof and is particularly welcoming to families. If you want to combine a visit to the restaurant with a family activity, the campsite's accessible mini-golf course offers a sporting challenge.

Dining in Matzingen's landmark

The green silo of the Matzingen mill, a witness to times gone by, can be seen from afar. The mill no longer grinds, the mill lives. With this principle in mind, a modern restaurant was created at Mühle Matzingen in 1998. With its cute playground, toys in the restaurant and various children's menus, the "Mühli" is very child-friendly. When the weather is fine, guests can also enjoy culinary delights in an outdoor seating area. Meat from our own breed - including llama - is the house specialty.

The large children's playground in the garden with two merry-go-rounds, Gigampfi, climbing tower, slides and swings will make every child's heart beat faster. Even in bad weather, the children will not miss out. In the basement there is a playroom with children's books, crayons and various games. Daily changing menus, including a vegetarian option as well as a gluten-free dish and seasonal specialties, ensure variety on the menu. Accompanied by a fine wine or good beer from the region.

Bicycle tours, hikes or walks along the Thur are crowned by a stop at the Waldschenke Bischofszell.
