Tamina valley hike, wild views and fossils

About this place

The Muntaluna is not a moon mountain, but a mountain above the ravine - Munt is the mountain, and Valluna the ravine. We don't climb all the way to the Muntaluna anyway, but to the Chamm. We only want to see the main Glarus overthrust with the striking line in the rocks of the Wildseehörner and the Pizol. The cable car to the Vättnerberg also shortens the ascent, and so it becomes an enjoyable and interesting hike at the same time. Entertaining, because we walk cheerfully through different rock ages, which in addition were formed in a sea. We also discover fossils, namely single-celled former living beings like the Nummulites, which look like multi-chambered, spiral disks. All in all, we hike in an impressively beautiful landscape, the view of the wild Töbel and the backside of Chur's local mountain Calanda is unique. The descent is planned to the Mapragg reservoir. Hiking time: 4 ¼ hrs. Requirement: medium, T2 - T3 Ascent / descent: 600 / 1200 m Meeting point: Bad Ragaz train station 08:25 a.m. The hike leader and GeoGuide tells interesting information.
