This circular hike starts at the station in the town of Bad Ragaz and follows the Tamina River Gorge to Altes Bad Pfäfers, and then on to the village of Pfäfers and back to Bad Ragaz via the former Porta Romana trading road and the banks of the Rhine. This hike isn’t particularly special as much of it is along dirt track or beside roads, but it would be a good starter for new hikers.
