Tamina Gorge - 36.5°C, 8,000 liters per minute. Two hunters from the nearby Pfäfers Monastery discovered the healing Tamina spring in 1240. Therefore, the healing properties of Pfäfers' spring water were recognized early on. Initially, the sick bathed in rock depressions, and from 1350 onwards, in wooden bathhouses across the roaring Tamina. Access to the gorge was difficult: those who could climbed ladders. The rest abseiled into the gorge in baskets – blindfolded to combat their fear. Today, the Tamina Gorge can be explored much more comfortably. From Bad Ragaz, a leisurely one-hour hike leads to the Old Baths of Pfäfers. Halfway through, you pass under the largest arched bridge in Switzerland, the Tamina Bridge. Those who don't want to walk can take the post bus or the Rösslipost (horse-drawn carriage). The entrance to the mystical gorge is located just behind the historic building. A tunnel secures the 450-meter-long path through the rock to the spring water grotto. Here, the Tamina spring bubbles continuously from the rock, day and night, at a temperature of 36.5°C, and 8,000 liters per minute.

interesting and fresh

Great cave, definitely worth a visit.

Guided tours are only available on certain dates or with pre-registered groups (see website). However, the restaurant and museum are always open; the restaurant in the mine is beautifully designed, with an outdoor terrace in front of the entrance.

On the eastern side of the Seluner-Ruck there is a cave, the Wildmannlisloch. Its gate is so large that one can drive in with a horse and cart. It leads an hour and a half deep into the mountain, and the passages inside are so wide that several men can walk upright side by side. At the front the wild men have carved out tables and benches for themselves; a quarter of an hour further in is a small lake, surrounded by boulders; the dwarves have rolled around these to form cool resting places; even further back are the dwellings. The dwarves lived on roots and milk. They helped the neighboring herdsmen to "shear" the stables, feed the cattle, and make hay on the mountain. Once they fetched the midwife from Starkenbach, who had to assist a wild woman. As a reward she received an entire apron full of lumps of earth. On the long way out of the cave, however, she paid no attention to the worthless gift; When she came out into the daylight and looked at the last piece, it was pure gold. Rochholz, Swiss legends.

Great gorge at Ofenloch, safety is mandatory

The Tamina Gorge is definitely worth seeing and also the healing spring
