Tamina Gorge trail 412

The starting point for this 5.9 km trail is the information point at the Bad Ragaz station near the Giessenpark outdoor pool (503 m above sea level). Like the Giessenpark Trail, the Tamina Gorge Trail first runs along the Tamina through the romantic mixed forest and past a mighty avenue of beech trees to the entrance to the village of Bad Ragaz (514). In the village itself, the trail first crosses the Tamina and leads through picturesque alleyways to the entrance to the Badtobel ravine on the southern edge of the village. Flanked by imposing rock faces, the trail meanders along the Tamina through partly dense forest, past numerous waterfalls and various types of vegetation, to the Alter Bad Pfäfers (680), where the trail ends and just behind it is the entrance to the mystical Tamina Gorge. The Tamina Gorge Trail is particularly recommended on hot days. Shady sections and the cool stream air in the ravine make for a refreshing running experience.
