The Most Romantic and Extraordinary
Spot to be Found In the Alps of
Switzerland.
Zi? iuch, Switzerland,)
Aug. 14th, 1889. |
Dear News— We arrived in Zurich
after u short trip by rail from Lu¬
cerne. It is a most prosperous and
thriving town oi 80,000 inhabitants;
situated upon a lovely lake, it looks
like a jewel set in a ring of exquisite
workmanship. In truth, it would be
difficult to find a town offering more
attractions than she does, being a
centre of Industry, literature and
science, and many foreigners have
settled here, giving the place a
cosmopolitan character. There are
no lack of museums, libraries, and
galleries containing valuable
tiona of antiquities, manuscripts, etc.
The University is of world wide repu¬
tation. An excellent orchestra,
talented theatrical company, good
races, and an annual regatta nil
furnished an abundance of amuse¬
ment.
Like Lyons it is an important seat
of silk manufactories. On the south
side of the town rises the precipitous
Wetliberg mountain, while on the
opposite side are fertile slopes stud¬
ded with villas and country houses.
Between two mountain ridges spreads
the lake, dotted with steam and rqw-
ing boats, and with villages and
fruitful vineyards lining either shore,
while the southern horizon is closed
by a mighty barrier of snowclad
mountains of the Alps and the Wri.
Though Zurich is so peaceful and
quiet now, like most towns in Switz¬
erland she has witnessed a series
desperate battles. In the 18th cen¬
tury the French and the allied Aus¬
trians and Russians fought many bat¬
tles here, and for centuries she has
afforded refuge to fugitives whose re¬
ligious or political opinions have ex¬
iled them from their native country.
The Cathedral is chiefly interesting
from the fact that the reformer
Zwingli began his labors here in
1500. The principal entrance has a
very rich ornamentation, while- the
interior of the church contains three
beautifully painted glass windows
and a fine organ, and the cloisters
are remarkable for their grotesque
ornamentation. ApromenadealoDg
the quay which when completed
will render one of the most beautiful
drives in all Europe; the embank¬
ment of solid masonry is aboutthree
miles long. The land is bounded by
a succession of villas and gardens,
while on the other we have an unin¬
terrupted view of the lake and its
lovely shores, with their background
of verdant hills and icecapped
mountains. We cross a bridge over
the river Sihl and reach the hand¬
some buildings of the Barracks, which
afford accomodation for fourteen
hundred men. Near by is the armo¬
ry, which contains a rare collection
of ancient weapons, including Zwin-
gli’s battle axe, coat of mail, and hel
met. At the juncture of the Sihl and
the Limmat rivers are the beautiful
grounds of the Platz-Promenade.
We next find our way to the convent
erected by the Dominican monks in
the 13th century; part of the build¬
ing contains a library of 50,000
volumes and many ancient and val¬
uable manuscripts. The curious old
theatre was once a church of Bare¬
footed Friars. Near by is an asylum
for the Deaf and Dumb, also another
for the Blind. We now reach the
“Tonhalle” or Concert Hall, a large
and handsome place of amusement,
which accommodates four thousand
singers and one hundred musicians,
while the auditorium will seat two
thousand people, and the fine orches¬
tra plays daily. The veranda is en¬
closed with glass, and decorated with
pdlms and tropical plants, thus form¬
ing a delightful winter resort. The
Lunatic Asylum stands in beautiful
decorated grounds, and will hold 300
patients, while the Children’s Hos¬
pital and the Asylum for the Aged
are all worth visiting. There is a
school of Agriculture with a large
farm mountain for experimenting. f Tne Nettli-
berg is one v> the Albis
range and affords a most delightful
excursion. It is 2860 feet high and
commands a magnificent view of the
town, the lake, and the valley of the
Limmat river and an extended view
over the far off range of the Alps, the
Jura, and the Vosges as well as the
Black Forest monntaind of Germany;
while on its summit is a fine hotel in
which one can spend a few days and
drink in the fresh bracing mountain
air. On the sides of the Albis hills
are the ruins of Baldern and Manegg
castles.
A trip around the lake in a steam
boat makes a lovely dav’sexcursion,
as the boat stops at all the numer¬
ous little villages The lake though
very beautiful cannot compare with
other Swiss lakes in grandeur of
scenery. Though wanting in the
stern and rugged magnificence of the
lake of the Four Cantons, it is un¬
surpassed in pastoral beauty. There
is a dam of more than a thousand
yards long that connects the town
of Rapperswyl with the store, while
the scenery of the upper part of the
lake beyond the dam is much wilder

range, while on the south the waters
wash the fertile hills at the foot oi
St. Gall, which are clothed with
green pastures and dotted with
herdsmen’s cottages. best known Ragatz is the
handsomest, the and the
most frequented of Swiss watering
places. It is situated on the banks
of the foaming Tamina in a lovely
valley of the Rhioe, and possesses
many charms on account of its ro¬
man ic situation in magnificent moun-
ty scenery, surrounded as it is by
soaring peaks, with green pastures, and
fine vineyards, great embanktd
valleys, terraced mountains, ruined
castles, foaming lovely torrents and deep
ravines, with mountain lakes,
above which crowned tower with beetling crags and
glaciers eternal snows.
The village is situated at an eleva¬
tion of 1707 feet above the sea, and
has population of 2500 people, but
in summer it quite double that size.
The medical waters for which strang¬
ers visit Ragatz, from are brought hot by
means of pipes springs
which rise in a dark gorge
gehind the great bath house
of Pfaeffers, at a distance
of two and a half miles ‘ from the
town; the water* of which have a

has eighty-one baths,
four hydropathic well establishments large and
five showers, as as a cov¬
ered swimming bath of warm water,
and in the height of the season it puts
on a very ga.y appearance, and offers
many opportunities in the valley
and beech woods for charming walks
and drives. The wild and rugged
character of the near mountains ren¬
der theirascent very interesting. the The
season lasts from May to end of
October and all classes of society are
gathered together which here, to enjoy the
healing waters, prove a great
boon alike to the aristocrat and the
artisan. Among the excursions are
the old ruius of the castles of Freu-
denberg and Wartenstein, two an¬
cient strongholds their gazing silently
down upon us from rocky eyries,
and from the their heights wo get a fine
view of valley below. The excur¬
sion through the valley of the Tami¬
na to the baths of Pfaeffers is by far
the most interesting. The narrow
gorge Ragatz opens immediately behind
with the swiftly flowing river
descending from it in beautiful cas¬
cades. The steep sides of the ravine
formed of brown rock traversed by
veins of white spar abound in fossils,
and are separated only by the turbu¬
lent stream and the which artificially made
roadway, above they rise ab¬
ruptly in fantastic outlines The of sever,
al hundred feet. road winds
through a narrow valley for about
three miles, while at every turn the
scenery undergoesa transformation.
On the right and left fir trees are
perched on every crag of the grey
rocky wall that will afford them a
foothold. Dark masses of stone jut
out over our heads, and the rock is
pierced by tunnels in many places,
and here and there little
cascades decend from the sides of the
rocky walls, winding while foad always to the left
of the rushes the
impetuous Tamina foaming over the
dark rocks in its onward course to
join the Rhine. The ravines are so
narrow that even in the midsummer
the suns rays only reach the bottom
of the valley for about six hours at
mid-day, and by four o’clock all is
in shadow again. At the end of this
magnificent rav ine, couched between
rocky columns arh the “Baths of
Pfaeffer,” a stone edifice on a foun¬
dation of grey marble at an eleva¬
tion bf 2240 feet; the building con¬
tains one hundred and forty rooms
besides eight twenty-four bathing cabinets,
and large wooden baths and
many showers. The temperature of
the water fresh from the source is
100°, and corresponds to water at a
depth of 3600 feet below the earth’s
surface. The two main wings are
connected by a lovely little chapel
used both for Catholic and protest
ant worship. The supply of water
yields as much as 750 gallons per
minute. The spring issues from a
deep fissure in the rocks of a dismal
gorge from sixty to a hundred feet
wide. It is the most romantic and
extraordinary spot to be found in
the Alps. The road or foot path
leads through a dark and gloomy
chasm by means of a wooden plat¬
form or passage way five hundred
yards in length, built out on the
side of the rocky wall over the noisy
Tamina, and the visitor is conduc¬
ted into the very heart of the moun¬
tains. Above rise barren and jag¬
ged rocks of limestone, so steep and
so near to reaches near together, that the
light which us is dim and un¬
certain, while far below ns rushes
the river, occnpying the entire width
of the ravine and breaking in snow-
white foam against the rocks that
lie in its course. IS Occupying the little a niche
in the rocks Magdelene. To the chapel
of Mary right
above “ spring is plantid
the *
cross marking the site upon the
outside, from which the sick were let
down by means of ropes to the
spring in the olden days. We enter
a dark tunnel or passage by the
light of a lamp, and find a hot
spring or more properly speaking a
Well about twenty yards distant
from the mouth of the tunnel. The
temperature of the air about that of
a vapor bath, and short as it is the
trip'is paiuful. The guide offers US
a cup of water which has no taste
or smell. From the year 1038 this
spring has bee visited derived by the sick,
who nave always beneficial
results from it. At one point the
rocky walls join at 168 feet in
height above our beads apd form a
pathway across the mountain, over
which we must pass to return to th#
village of Ragatz, where we must
prepare for our trip to the Enga-
dine. Pike Coenty .
