A Little Paradise: At the monastery in Alt St. Johann, modernity meets the Middle Ages. The monks already cultivated the garden of the monastery of St. Johann in the Thur Valley in the Middle Ages. Today, 200 different herbs and medicinal plants grow there. Many Medicinal Plants in the Garden Gardens have been part of a monastery since the Middle Ages. The monks and nuns grew vegetables there so they could live independently of the outside world. A large part of the garden was always reserved for medicinal plants. In many monasteries, the monks were able to write and copied ancient texts describing medicinal plants and their effects. In this way, the monks acquired knowledge that they continued to cultivate and pass on. A trade in southern European and oriental herbs also developed through monasteries. For example, exotic plants such as lovage and fennel came here. The connection between useful and medicinal plants is still cultivated in the publicly accessible display garden in Alt St. Johann. Near the entrance, herbs dominate, which are used and sold in the herbal shop. 200 different plants can be found in the garden. At the rear, useful plants also grow in beds. The area is complemented by a water feature and a seating area where visitors can let their thoughts wander. The garden can also be used for various events. Incidentally, like many monastery gardens, the one in Alt St. Johann has a geometric layout with a planted circular area at its center.

Protestant Church of Old St. John Old St. John Church History, Old St. John The monastery was the earliest settlement in the valley. This is the last Benedictine monastery founded in present-day Switzerland. The oldest documented mention of it dates back to 1152. The monastery church is dedicated to John the Baptist. The monastery complex also included the provost's house, the St. Anne Chapel, and the St. John Chapel. A village settlement called St. John soon grew up around the monastery. The Protestant church stands on the site of the original St. Anne Chapel. This was given to the Reformed congregation in 1526. It too was destroyed in the first monastery fire of 1568. It was rebuilt no later than 1582. It survived the second monastery fire of 1626. A new church was built in 1861. The church is particularly oriented to the west, and remains a mystery to this day. The interior of the church is simple; the tower door and pulpit feature carvings by Ulrich Steiger, and the ceiling consists of 105 differently painted wooden panels. Unterwasser and Starkenbach were never ecclesiastically independent and never had their own church. From the very beginning, the Reformed Church attended services at the church in Alt St. Johann.

Berghotel Alp Sellamatt, Alt St. Johann For more than 60 years, the Lötscher family has run the renowned mountain hotel on Alp Sellamatt. Three generations live and work under one roof. Grandparents Hanni and Valentin Lötscher handed over the reins to their daughter Christiana and her husband Heinz on November 1, 2015. Christiana has followed in her father's footsteps. She trained as a chef and, by attending hotel management school, acquired the necessary skills to continue running the business. She cares passionately for the culinary well-being of hotel guests and day-trippers. She is also the mother of Severin and Michelle. Both attend school in Alt St. Johann and are growing up in the family business. Heinz works at the buffet and reception and is responsible for all technical matters, while Magdalena, Christiana's sister, comes to the Alp from Unterwasser two days a week to manage the accounting and various administrative tasks. Long-serving employees support the family in all areas. The mountain inn was built in the 1940s during the construction of the mountain railway. It was then called the Churfirsten Mountain Inn, and various innkeepers ran the inn before the "Lötscher dynasty" began, until Christiana and Magdalena's grandmother, Margaretha Lötscher-Jöhl, was able to buy the business in 1953 and, from then on, ran it with her son Valentin. Life on Alp Sellamatt was strenuous and time-consuming. At that time, a mountain inn had to be run without electricity or water. There was also no access road. Materials had to be transported from the valley to Alp Sellamatt by train or on foot. The effort paid off! Gradually, investments were made that made daily work easier.
