Beschreibung

We start the round trip in the well-known spa town of Bad Ragaz and pass the villages of Vilters, Wangs, Mels, Plons, Heiligkreuz and Sargans on the way before we drive along the Rhine back to the starting point. On the leisurely tour, there are hardly any meters of altitude to overcome. Only on the ascent to Sargans Castle do we conquer 100 meters in altitude. On the way to Sargans, Mels is recommended for a stopover with its newly designed village square, the town hall cellar and the characteristic Nidberg hill with Wingert. After continuing our journey through the Mels settlements of Plön and through the vineyards of Heiligkreuz, we reach the old town of Sargans. Towering proudly above the historic town is Sargans Castle, which can be seen from afar. From the town, a staircase leads directly up to Sargans Castle on foot. With the e-bike we can also approach the castle from the back via a wide road.

Once at the top, we are rewarded with a wonderful all-round view. The castle stands at the foot of Mount Gonzen, on the lower slopes of which there are numerous hectares of vines. This is also the case with the Gonzen winery, whose noble trophies mature in barrique barrels next door in the Gonzen mine. Not only the wine cellar is located in the mountain, but also the restaurant Gonzenbergwerk welcomes its guests underground. 

For the way back to Bad Ragaz we first drive to the Rhine dam and then upstream to the Fläscher bridge, where we turn off and are soon back at our starting point.

Geheimtipp

Around the village square in Mels there are various refreshment stops. Among other things, the Bistro Verrucano, which offers regional wines in the open bar.

Ausrüstung

Normal bike equipment. Functional clothing is an advantage, as ascents and descents alternate.
