Since then, sufferers began to flock here, wishing to experience the power of local waters on themselves. Almost no disappointed.
In 1840, with the help of wooden pipes, water from the source began to be sent directly to Bad Ragaz, thereby officially witnessing the opening of the first mineral resort in Switzerland. And the aristocracy from all over the Old World, including from Russia, reached the town.
