Anniversary route 1250 years celebration Flums, Mels, Sargans

From the Sargans Spleeka Chapel, the route leads via Sargans Castle along the vineyard path to Heiligkreuz. From here, it continues to the Hagerbach experimental tunnel. A restaurant or the meeting place with a fireplace invites you to linger. The hike then continues towards Flums, with beautiful views of the valley, the Flumserberge, the Ragnatscherbach waterfall, and the Churfirsten. Via Hochwiesen, the path then leads to the end point at Flums train station.

Along the route, there are 15 panels with information about the history of the region. These panels were designed by school classes for the 1250-year anniversary. They contain interesting information about the floods in Flums and Mels, Pfäfers monastery, the Rhaeto-Romance language, the place and field names, Nidberg Castle, the County of Sargans, Bishop Tello's testament, Mels monastery, Gonzen mine, or the town of Sargans.

The route can also be started at Flums train station and ends at the Spleeka Chapel in Sargans. From there, it is only a five-minute walk to the train station. The entire hike lies on the south-facing slope and therefore offers good weather conditions.
