    9.7 km · +900 m

    From Bad Ragaz — where thermal waters have flowed since 1840 — the route climbs through open mixed forest past the walkable ruins of Freudenberg castle, opening onto sweeping views across the Rhine valley and the Graubünden mountain world. The final ascent threads through the Valeistobel gorge, crossing seven bridges before reaching the hamlet of Garschlu.

  • Melser Geoweg

    6 km · +427 m

    The Melser Geoweg is a teaching trail that winds through an exceptional landscape shaped by Ice Age glaciation, where rounded rock formations called Rundhöcker and an open-air exhibition of regionally significant stones — central to the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Tectonic Arena Sardona — tell the story of the Earth's geology. The hill of Castels, rising between Mels and Flums, adds layers of human history: prehistoric fortifications, wartime artillery positions, and the traces of a once-thriving mining and quarrying industry.

  • Wildseeluggen-Baföni

    5.4 km · +814 m

    Drie watervallen — de Piltschinabachfall (81 m), Sässbachfall (86 m) en Muttenbachfall (45 m) — storten naast elkaar neer in het rotsachtige bekken van Batöni, bereikbaar door de Gufelbach te volgen door bos en weide. De route loopt door het UNESCO Wereldnatuurerfgoed Tektonikarena Sardona en langs de Wildsee, het bergmeer dat bekend is van de Pizol vijf-merenwandeling.
