==Geography== Bischofszell consists of two parts - the older elevated part and the newer more industrial part located to the north. The Sitter flows in the Thur directly outside Bischofszell. The forest to the south-east and the riverbanks are popular recreation areas. The closest bigger city and capital of the neighboring canton St. Gallen is about 30 minutes away by train or car.
