Description
This leisurely tour leaves the spa town of Bad Ragaz and climbs past the Freudenberg castle ruins with views of the Rhine and Seez valleys up to Vilterserberg. After a short descent along hiking trails and tarred roads, it crosses Mels on the hillside and follows the Seez river before climbing the short ascent to Sargans Castle. The castle embodies two hundred years of the earldom and more than three centuries of the varied reign of the counts of Sargans. The castle is home to one of the most important museums of local history in Europe and bears witness to the history of Sargans. The castle also offers wonderful views of the surrounding villages and the mountains. After a short descent to the entrance of the Gonzen iron ore mine, where the Romans mined iron ore, the tour crosses the Sarganser Au. The route follows the Rhine dam to the Giessenpark Bad Ragaz and back to the starting point at the Tamina Therme Bad Ragaz.
Hidden Gem
The Marien Grotto outside Mels is a replica of the world-famous Lourdes Grotto and invites you to linger in silence.
Equipment
Normal bike equipment. Functional clothing is an advantage, as ascents and descents alternate.
