Tamina Gorge
Taminaschlucht
A deep, shadowy gorge at the source of the Bad Ragaz thermal springs; a path through the rock cracks leads to the 36.5°C hot spring, and an old bath house stands beside it.
The Tamina River has cut a narrow, deep gorge here. A path along the rock walls leads to the spring source, where the water is about 36.5°C; this is the very origin of the Bad Ragaz thermal waters. At the entrance, the old Bad Pfäfers bath house, built in 1704, now houses a museum and a restaurant, and Paracelsus once practised medicine here. Entry costs about CHF 5, and it is open roughly May to October. From Bad Ragaz, take a bus or walk uphill for about 1 hour.
Opening hours
Approx. May–Oct, 10:00–17:00
