Sargans Castle
Highlight • Castle
The Sarganserschloss was first read in a document as early as 1282. In 1386 its owner, Count Johann I (called "Count Hans" for short) fought on the side of Austria near Sempach against the Confederates. Two years later he planned to take part in the battle against the Glarus people at Näfels, but luckily he did not appear with his people on the Kerenzerberg until the meeting had already been decided.
After the Old Zurich War, Sargans became subject to the Confederates. From then on (from 1459 to 1798) they administered this property as a common rule. 181 bailiffs replaced each other one after the other in the Sarganserschloss (each after a two-year term of office). The order of their appearance can still be read on the coat of arms that adorns the city side of the mansion: Zurich, Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Zug and Glarus. (After the Villmerger Wars, from 1712, also Bern.)
The castle has belonged to the local community of Sargans since 1899. Architect Eugen Probst renovated it sensibly at the turn of the century. In 1969/70 the facade, the ring walls and the retaining walls were subjected to another renovation with the help of Heimatschutz and the federal government and the canton of St. Gallen. A visit to the old manor house and the Sarganserländisches Heimatmuseum in the tower are worthwhile!

Regitzer Spitz Viewpoint
Highlight • Viewpoint
At 1135 m above sea level, the Regitzer Spitz is the main peak of the Fläscherberg range in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It is the westernmost spur of the Rätikon range.
The mountain lies within the municipality of Fläsch, with the village located slightly south between Regitzer Spitz and the Rhine to the west. The northern foot of the Fläscherberg forms the state and national border with the Principality of Liechtenstein. The latter's territory on the Fläscherberg never reaches higher than 660 meters, which is only 200 meters above the valley floor near Balzers.

St. Luzisteig Pass
Highlight • Mountain Pass
The Steighof restaurant (today a country inn) in Graubünden style invites you to a cozy seat. Let yourself be inspired by the Grisons specialties such as Maluns and Capuns or the Grisons plate.
The wines from the Bündner Herrschaft.
