The public thermal health spa is a place for body, mind and soul to regenerate. With a unique thermal water world, a modern sauna area and a comprehensive, top-quality range of wellness facilities and services. Europe's most abundant thermal source originates in the Tamina gorge near Bad Ragaz and was discovered long ago in the early Middle Ages (1242). The Tamina source not only gives its name to the Therme, but also provides the healing thermal water.

4. Greisinger Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 28 reviews
The Greisinger Museum is located in eastern Switzerland, precisely in Jenins, one of the four municipalities in the canton of Graubünden, which are well known for wine-making. Since 4 October 2013 it has opened his doors for fans and friends of Middle-earth.The museum is a non-profit foundation. It houses the Greisinger Collection (GC), Bernd Greisinger's private collection focused on "Middle-earth", the world's largest and most important of its kind which consists primarily of art and literature as well as collectors' items of any kind.The construction of the museum started in mid-2008. Planning and building of the museum were orientated on optimizing the use of the Greisinger Collection. All rooms provide you with their warmth to the visitors the feeling of being in Middle-earth. Through the door of the hobbit hole you get into the museum, whose rooms are for the most part underground.

Bert is a very nice person, and he certainly knows a tremendous amount of Trivia. If you are not familiar with German culture, you may find him off-putting. He scolds frequently-- for example, he does not accept groups of under ten people, but he requires that each person remain at least 30cm from his expensive artwork - which is everywhere. It can be quite difficult to crowd ten adults into some of the small spaces without breaking this rule. The rule makes sense, but the layout makes it hard to follow. He isn't mean about it, just abrupt and emphatic, and sometimes a bit mocking.
Length: Be prepared for a very long tour. He told us on the phone that it would be a 90 minute tour, but it took four hours, and he only stopped when he did because he had an appointment. He mentioned a previous tour took six hours. The museum is not large, so much of the tour is standing in small rooms listening to him describe each item of his collection and why it is valuable. Young children are not supposed to come (we did not know this rule), and our 6 and 8 year olds had to leave after the first two hours. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 11.
Content: The content is a mixed bag. Some of it is collectibles from the recent Hollywood movie, which Bert has a love-hate relationship with. He finds much of Jackson's interpretation of the books to be horrible and inaccurate, but he clearly finds it very rewarding to collect things from the movies. Some of the content includes things like plastic figurines from the old animated show, etc, which are interesting only because they exist. Other bits are truly fantastic, such as a hand-written Red Book, some Tolkien letters, and of course the hobbit hole. The artwork is quite an extensive collection, so if someone is an artist or is particularly interested in Tolkien art, the museum is worth it for that alone.
Atmosphere: It's again a mixed bag. For example, the hobbit hole is gorgeous. But when you step inside, you have to be EXTREMELY careful to step over the round threshold rather than touching it at all with your foot. You wear booties over your shoes. This way, it remains pristine. I think he could attract many more people if he included part of the hobbit hole that is for guests to relax in and do what the room is meant for, such as eat or read or talk with friends. As it is, you're terrified to move because you might accidentally get to close to artwork, and you are spending the whole time trying to pay attention in a very warm, crowded room, which you have been standing in for a long time (we were in the very first room, the entryway, for over an hour). As I said, he is a collector, proud of his collection, and the hobbit hole is a piece of art like the others - sterile, but fun to look at.
In addition, some of the attempts to build atmosphere are far more authentic than others. For example - There are solid wood doors with iron hinges and knockers, and then in the Gondor room, the white stonework is all plastic or some sort of fake material. It's pretty, fun, and at the same time, a bit ironic. Bert is, endearingly, equally proud of all of it. He just loves to collect, and he is much like a child with many toys to show off. It's charming, but it does not allow for guests to engage much - no playing with his toys, or even touching most of them.
I think the museum would actually be better if there were informational placards up next to everything, and guests could wander through at their own pace, stop and read about the bits that interest them most, and ask questions whenever they want more information. He might need to protect his artwork more if he did that, but it would allow guests to focus on the aspects they find most interesting and relax more. I also think it would be better if there were more opportunities to engage, through hands-on activities or something, and some sort of children's area. The most fun the children had was running around outside in the garden. By the end of the tour, we were all exhausted and kind of dizzy.
But we really liked Bert. He is a nice person, and he is very interesting to listen to. It's great to have a large number of collectibles in one place for people to visit. Not sure I'd pay 30F if I had known what it was, but I can say I'm glad I went.

Die gerade eingeweihte Brücke über die Tamina besticht durch ihre Anmut und die Formschönheit. Beeindruckend ist sie sowohl von unten aus dem Taminatal als auch von oben auf dem Wanderweg nach Pfäfers (Strasse Vättis-Pfäfers).

Not sure if to tell people about this place
No queues, friendly people and instructors, good food, sensible prices for your ski passes
So unlike most other ski resorts.
This is a secret that the locals keep to themselves
While you dont have the 100's of km's of slopes you do have enough variety to challenge all levels with lifts that have no queues. Yes NO QUEUES
One resteraunt at the top of the mountain that all lifts go back to. Good quality and varied menu day to day. Helpful and friendly staff.
Warm days then the BBQ is set up outside as well as the snow bar
Excellent for the family or people trying to learn as the slopes are never ever busy. So perfect for learning

Chur was a quiet old town especially on Sundays when the shops were closed. Nonetheless there were rolls of open shopstalls selling fruits and local souvenirs between the narrow streets of the old town. Thus the place became more lively in the eyes of visitors. A really nice stroll in the old town.
9. Pizol

Reviewed By marcopolo111 - Cleveland, Oh
After taking 3 long gondolas-cable cars rides there is a large lodge which was empty in the summer. The views at 2500 meters are superlative. We went for the 5 lakes trail which was well marked and relatively easy. 4 hours After an initial steep ascent to a saddle you have the view of the first lake and the Pizol, the tallest in the Glarus Alps.
Then the trail circles clockwise and one by one the other lakes appear. There were few people on the trail and the solitude and the vista unforgettable
10. Burg Gutenberg
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By CorporateProphet - Bengaluru, India
Burg Gutenberg isn't as famous as Vaduz Castle but it's definitely worth a visit. Take Bus 11 from Vaduz Post Office and get down at Balzers Post Office (Rheinstrasse). From there, it's a 10 minute uphill walk but the view from above is simply breathtaking. The castle itself is an imposing structure but you can only enter the courtyard; the castle is locked. However, the view from the courtyard and the hill itself will indeed take your breath away!
