One of the most famous things the area is renowned for is its healing waters. The healing water in the area springs from the interior of the mountain and flows through the deep Tamina Gorge. It all started back in 1240 when two hunters discovered a hot spring.
Centuries ago, Bad Ragaz was visited because of its supposed connection to the Benedictines. Several pilgrims headed there, the aim being to bathe in the thermal waters. Later, the monks built the Altes Bad Pfafeirs there and the town has been famous for them ever since.
Years later, in 1840, a clever Swiss man installed a system of pipes and pumps in the steep woodland, which took the water 4-5 km from the spring and thus reached the town of Bad Ragas. This makes the town the first Swiss thermal resort. Be sure to take time out of your day to hike to the Old Baths to Bad Ragaz – the gorge of Tamina.
The route leads through the high cliffs and the romantic murmur of the river, the majesty of the cliffs, and the beautiful valleys. Stunning and fabulous scenery. The road meanders, along with the river and the cliffs soar all the way up.
