Altenrhein

Altenrhein straddles the flat Rhine delta on the southern shore of Lake Constance in the canton of St. Gallen, where the meeting of river plain, lake and nearby Austrian border has shaped its transport links and industry. Part of the municipality of Thal, it is home to St. Gallen–Altenrhein Airport, a regional airfield serving eastern Switzerland. Aviation remains central to local identity: aircraft were manufactured here during the 20th century, while the Fliegermuseum Altenrhein preserves historic aircraft and related technology. The wetlands of the Rhine delta also make this lakeshore an important habitat for birds and other wildlife.
