Description

Following in the footsteps of the Romans, you will walk along the old trade route through the historic area of Porta Romana. From Bad Ragaz train station, take the bus to the Fluppi stop or walk past the golf courses to Rosenbergli. This is where the ascent begins. You walk across the terraced grounds to the ruins of Wartenstein Castle and the Chapel of St. George. After a final ascent, you will reach the former Pfäfers Monastery with its baroque monastery church and the large beech tree in the magnificent monastery garden. Passing the village lime tree, you reach the end of the village, where a hiking trail leads you under the Tamina bridge through and over Falur to Bad Ragaz. There it is recommended to conclude the tour of the power place in the warm, invigorating water of the Taminatherme.
