In this canton it flows through the Toggenburg region and the town Wil. After Wil it flows through the canton of Thurgau and its capital Frauenfeld. The final 19 kilometres (12 mi) of the river Thur are in the canton of Zürich. It flows into the river Rhine on the border with Germany, south of Schaffhausen.
