Hike in the Tamina Valley, wild views and fossils

Description

Muntaluna is not a lunar mountain, but a mountain above the ravine - Munt is the mountain, and Valluna the ravine. Anyway, we don't quite climb up to Muntaluna, but to Chamm. We just want to see the main overlap of Glaris with the marking line in the rocks of Wildseehörner and Pizol. The cable car on Vättnerberg also shortens the ascent, making it both fun and interesting. Entertaining, because we traverse different eras of rocks, which were also formed in a sea. We also discover fossils, namely unicellular beings like nummulites, which look like spiral discs with multiple compartments. Overall, we walk in a landscape of impressive beauty, the view of the wild Töbel and the back of the local mountain of Chur, Calanda, is unique. The descent is planned to the Mapragg dam. Duration of the hike: 4 ¼ hours. Level of difficulty: medium, T2 - T3 Ascent/descent: 600 / 1200 m Meeting point: Bad Ragaz station 08:25 The hiking guide and geoguide share interesting information.
