Stage 1: WALSA-Weg

This walk starts in Bad Ragaz, where thermal spring water has been gushing since 1840. After passing the ruin of Freudenberg castle, which can be traversed on foot, there follows a longer stretch uphill in light mixed woodland. The view across the Rhine Valley to the Grison Alps is awe-inspiring. Passing through Valeistobel valley, the final ascent ends in Garschlu.
