– We were travelling around Switzerland by train only and I don’t regret it for a minute. It’s really convenient and safe, given Swiss efficiency – faster than any car.
Bad Ragaz is the most famous thermal springs resort in Switzerland (which is not the same as a mineral springs resort, incidentally). It has a huge number of thermal water pools and an excellent medical center in which you can have any examination and get a doctor’s prescription. The spa impresses with its choice of procedures – from classical to exotic, and taken from Tibetan and Oriental practices. In the nearby neighborhood you can find the source, which, according to legend, was blessed by the appearance of the Virgin Mary – lots of pilgrims come here. This water is believed to have healing properties. The Bad Ragaz thermal water received a certificate of quality from the great doctor Paracelsus as early as the 16th century.
There are many restaurants in Bad Ragaz. For those not on a diet, it would be wise to visit them – one of the local chefs appears on the list of the fifty best chefs in the world. Considering his very young age, this is a formidable achievement. There are many cheese farms in the neighborhood where you can see how the cheese is made. I went to one and it turned out to be a very interesting process.
The thermal springs were so exciting that I couldn’t leave! Only when the cleaners began to sweep the floors did it become clear that this time of bliss had finished and we had to wait until the next day to return. I went to my room, wrapped myself up in a hot sheet, and gradually came the understanding that part of my problems has been washed away by this water, water which knows neither fear, nor envy, nor anger, nor hatred. Only bliss, comfort, health, love, peace …
