Humanist-secular spring hike to the Thurauen and the Old Rhine

Postautohaltestelle, Flaach Kirche, Bergstrasse, 8416 Flaach
Participation is free of charge (CHF 3.50 plus expenses for coffee stop at own expense)
Spring hike in the beautiful landscape at the confluence of the Thur and Rhine rivers. Organized by Pro-Demokratie.Info in cooperation with the Freidenken Winterthur association.
This is an invitation for people who (would like to) orient themselves towards a humanistic-secular world view. A humanistic-secular worldview is based on democracy, the rule of law and human rights. People with this world view like to move and orient themselves in this world - and stay away from fundamentalism of any kind.

On this easy hike to the Thurauen (canton of Zurich) and the Old Rhine near Rüdlingen (canton of Schaffhausen), we can discuss current, past or future issues from a humanist-secular perspective. But that doesn't have to be the case. Other perspectives are also welcome and no one is obliged to contribute anything.

Meeting point: 9.10 a.m. Postbus stop Flaach Kirche (Zurich from 8.16, Bern from 7.02, Basel from 7.06, Lucerne from 7.09, St. Gallen from 7.58, Winterthur from 8.42).

End: Postbus stop Flaach Ziegelhütte, in the course of the afternoon, departure Postbus direction Henggart - Winterthur 0.36. The end time may change depending on the weather, the aim is 16.36.

In Ziegelhütte there is the opportunity to visit the Thurauen Nature Center (exhibition / restaurant, open until 17.00).

Route:

The river landscape around the confluence of the Thur and Rhine (Thurspitz) and the Old Rhine near Rüdlingen is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the flatter regions of Switzerland.

We hike from Flaach through interesting cultivated land to the Thur floodplains at the confluence of the Thur and Rhine. A unique floodplain landscape with diverse flora has been created here through renaturation. In Ellikon there is a coffee/WC stop at the Rhygarte restaurant, then we take the Rhine ferry (Fr. 3.50) to Germany and walk first along the "new" Rhine and then along the old course towards Rüdlingen (Canton Schaffhausen). A scenic treat. The hike is absolutely flat and offers a beautiful river landscape. However, it is not just a walk and requires hiking ability.

Take along: Weatherproof clothing and shoes. In principle, sneakers suitable for hiking are also fine. However, depending on the water level and weather conditions, it can also be damp in the floodplain forest, which is why hiking boots are recommended.

The humanist-secular spring hike takes place in all weathers and is free of charge. The duration depends on the weather, which is why it is not possible to give an exact end time.
