Hörnli-Bergland

Hörnli-Bergland - A landscape full of life

A unique natural and cultural area in the heart of Eastern Switzerland - one of the most beautiful and valuable landscapes in Switzerland stretches around the Hörnli, the Tössstock and the Schnebelhorn. As part of the Federal Inventory of Landscapes and Natural Monuments of National Importance (BLN), the Hörnli-Bergland is a place of diversity, history and recreation - united by nature, culture and people.

Welcome to the Hörnli-Bergland
Forests, meadows, villages and people around the Tössstock, Schnebelhorn and Hörnli form a unique pre-alpine natural and cultural area. Under the name "Hörnli-Bergland", the region is listed in the Federal Inventory of Landscapes and Natural Monuments of National Importance (BLN) as one of the most beautiful and valuable landscapes in Switzerland. The Hörnli-Bergland is characterized by high biodiversity, dense forests and wild ravines, agricultural and industrial culture, people and many stories. Only the borders between the cantons of Zurich, Thurgau and St. Gallen separate the area. But the cultural landscape is nevertheless unifying and it remains a common "landscape full of life" across the borders.

  • Sustainable offers: Nature and culture education, regenerative tourism formats
  • Corporate volunteering & biodiversity missions
