Bad Ragaz is located in the foothills of the Alps in the Rhine Valley. Has a long tradition as a spa resort. And today he is a spa center with luxury hotels, spas and golf courses. 37 C hot mineral water springs from inside the mountain cruise line jobs and passes through a deep gorge Tamina.
It all began in 1240 when two hunters accidentally discovered a hot spring. cruise line jobs The monks of the nearby Benedictine monastery established that the water has healing properties. This rumor became known pilgrims heading to Abbey Pfäfers went to bathe in the thermal waters. So the monks built a curative bath (Alte s Bad Pfäfers). In 1535 the doctor and philosopher Paracelsus studied and confirmed the healing properties of the water and became the first doctor in Bad Pfäfers.
Years later, in 1840 a prudent Swiss installed in steep woodland pipes and took the healing water 4 km. in the nearby village of Bad Ragaz. This creates the oldest Swiss Thermal Resort Bad Ragaz.
This travelogue will be exactly about these beautiful places - old bathrooms and Tamina gorge with hot spring breathtaking journey along sheer cliffs and the river to Tamina Bad Ragaz and of course, the very Bad Ragaz.
Two paths lead from Valencia to it. One starts right from the entrance cruise line jobs of our building, and the other a hundred yards on the block :) The first time I went there was not yet started the season and was not open to the public. We took the path to the block, cruise line jobs but soon became convinced that it was very steep and I got back. We decided to go the other way, which was quite wide and sloping, but there was a sign that it is closed. We went somewhere just to walk and collect pine cones for decoration.
The second attempt was also unsuccessful. We had guests for lunch supposedly, but a typical lunch ours dragged a lot and when we went to the gorge was too late to get him open to visitors. I walked back down the aisle, but not go down all the way to the river.
Finally, after these two unsuccessful attempts, in a nice summer Saturday headed for Taminashluht. Go down the sloping path. The forest was green leaves and fresh-smelling. In less than 30 minutes we reached the old bathrooms (Altes Bad Pfäfers), where today there is a chapel, two museums, a memorial Paracelsus and restaurant.
We sat down to drink a cup of coffee in the shade to protect us from the heat. At this time appeared a large group that came from the entrance cruise line jobs of the gorge. All were clad in jackets which had traces of water. Looked at each other and slightly worried, because we were headed Dress. A little later we headed to the entrance. From the first steps heat change with incredible cold. Not late and wastewater treatment areas that were as heavy rain. The gorge itself was really magnificent. In many places barely visible sunlight, and the rocks rose high, high up.
Going back to our sun bathed heatwave. For a change we decided to climb back to Valencia in the other path. We had no idea how much you can steep it is. We have only seen the beginning of it, but I hope that not all is. At the beginning of the climb was fairly steep. We climbed a lot when we got to the picnic area with fireplace, table, benches and of course the fountain. We sat down to rest. But I do not like to stagnate for long. Quickly tired, cruise line jobs but quickly rest. Shaft back to me, able to climb longer, cruise line jobs but sit as forgetting to do.
We had no idea what lies ahead, but soon realized. At times the slope was so steep that grabs the grass roots and to not back down :) surna traveled 10-20 meters and sat for a minute. It was very difficult. I thought about the picnic site and how one might go down there with luggage and food without falling. And while I thought it appeared a man who denied me. He seemed to pop up out of nowhere cruise line jobs and fell so quickly and confidently that I watched it and I could not believe my eyes:-O
Jerk up each with a different cruise line jobs speed, Val parted. I stopped more frequently but briefly and he at long intervals. Finally we came to the section that we were already familiar from the first run. I stopped to take a picture emerging view and continuing up ran into Val, who lost all his strength was lying down on the right on the path.
I found it very funny. Without stopping went up. I knew very little remains. Breathless and finally hit the end of the path to the entrance of the block where I sat down to wait for Val. We were pretty tired and with a last effort is refreshed and sat down to have coffee on the terrace gazing at the beautiful view.
This route it was identified a long time. But I waited for him to become warm because I thought that I would have to go through the cold river and the high cliffs and the association that related to it
