Route of the leisure tour
After the Chapfensee reservoir, the tour takes you back down into the valley to Sargans, where the distinctive Sargans Castle sits enthroned above the small town. From there you have a wonderful panoramic view across the Sarganserland region. You can enjoy culinary delights in the castle garden or in the castle itself. If you want to learn more about the culture and history of the castle and the Sarganserland region, visit the museum in the 900-year-old tower of the castle. Romantic nooks and crannies or legends and stories can be discovered on six floors.
After visiting Sargans Castle, the tour continues via Vilters back to Bad Ragaz. There we recommend a visit to the Tamina Therme spa with its soothing 36.5° warm thermal water to finish the tour.
