Geography

Wildenstein is the highest village in the Thur Valley. The houses cluster along the main street, nestled between the steep slopes of the Altenberg to the west (1,197 m) and the Batteriekopf to the east (1,311 m). A section of the Route des Crêtes encroaches on the municipal territory without direct access from the center.
