Eggrank-Thurspitz Valley

The water area (Auengebiet) Eggrank-Thurspitz valley (Canton of Zurich) is one of the most valuable floodplains in Switzerland. Due to the variety of species, the area is of national importance.

The rich flora and fauna are promoted by revitalisation measures and the “Hochwasserschutz und Auenlandschaft Thurmündung” project.
