Description

A nature trail leads from Valens across meadows and through woodland into the Tamina Gorge. Once you reach the bottom, the overhanging rock faces, the magical atmosphere and the unique silence will amaze you. If you like, you can visit the warm spring or the baroque building of the Altes Bad Pfäfers. A beautiful walk accompanied by the sound of the Tamina leads out of the gorge to the spa town of Bad Ragaz. Return to the valley on foot or by post bus.
