Once you have reached the thermal spring inside the gorge, which can be admired through a display window, you have to leave the spring and can walk back through the Tamina Valley to Ragaz or take the bus. Or you can walk west around the spring gorge over the natural bridge, which is at an altitude of 820 metres, and over several wooden steps that lead to the eastern altitude of 920 metres, and hike back to Ragaz via Pfäfers.
