Pfäfers straddles the slopes above the Tamina River in the canton of St Gallen, a position that has linked the settlement with the thermal springs of the Tamina Gorge for centuries. The gorge leads down toward Bad Ragaz, where warm water emerging near the former Bad Pfäfers bathhouse established a long spa tradition. The former Benedictine Abbey of Pfäfers recalls an institution that influenced this alpine valley for more than a millennium before its dissolution in 1838. Paths through the Tamina valley connect scattered hamlets with the Rhine plain below. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of the St Gallen Rhine Valley connects regionally.
