Erlen: Golfclub
Erlen straddles the Aach in the canton of Thurgau, where fertile ground and a position between Weinfelden and Amriswil have sustained a dispersed rural settlement. Its built-up areas are interwoven with working fields, orchards and small woodland, characteristic of the Swiss Plateau between Lake Constance and the Alps. Thurgau is among Switzerland’s important apple-growing regions, so fruit cultivation is central to the canton’s identity as well as its farm economy. The present municipality combines Erlen with the former communities of Engishofen, Ennetaach, Kümmertshausen and Riedt, preserving a distinctly local, village-scale character across a broad agricultural area.

The landscape around Erlen is gently rolling farmland on the Swiss Plateau, which has shaped both its dispersed settlement pattern and its agricultural economy. This Thurgau municipality lies south of Lake Constance, in a canton widely associated with orchards and cider-making; apples remain an important marker of the region’s food culture. Erlen is made up of several small localities rather than a dense urban centre, giving the area a distinctly rural rhythm despite its position between the larger Thurgau towns of Weinfelden and Amriswil. For a broader sense of northeastern Switzerland, the Lake Constance region adds a contrasting waterside dimension.

Among Switzerland’s cantons, Thurgau stands out for its orchard country between Lake Constance and the Rhine. In the northeast of Switzerland, the canton extends from the cultivated shore of Untersee—the western arm of Lake Constance—to the river that forms much of its frontier with Germany. Apples and cider remain central to its rural identity, with orchards woven through farms and small towns. Frauenfeld, the cantonal capital, is known for its castle; on the lakeside, Arenenberg recalls the childhood of Napoleon III. Walking and cycling routes link vineyards, waterside settlements and open farmland. Explore other webcams in Thurgau to compare landscapes and settings around Lake Constance and the Rhine.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
