During the Spring holidays while my parents were visiting we did a trip to Walenstadt. We visited the parents of my sister in law and had a very delicious dinner, but beforehand we went on a short trip.
We went to visit an ancient chapel called St George which rest on top of St Georgeberg (funnily enough). We had to walk up to the chapel which was a rather steep walk but thankfully a short walk. We were rewarded with some lovely views of the Sargans region although it was cloudy and overcast it was still worthwhile.
The actual chapel which is know locally as "Sant Jöüri" is the oldest chapel in the Sargans region and has twin naves which is apparently very rare. It is usually kept locked but luckily we were able to get the keys for a look inside, and it was definitely worth it!
Inside the chapel were a few pews and fantastic paintings/drwaings on the walls, it is said to have some kind of energy force in the chapel. There is a small hole where you could put your head and it is said it would take away your headache! The hole does look a bit small for any head to be honest unless a child!
Anyway it was a lovely visit to this chapel which we did not known about and more than likely never would have visited it otherwise.
The last of the long weekends is here so best to make the most of it! Alessio has a football match and then a friend is visiting from Munich, Janet and her daughter. They will come for dinner on Saturday evening. On Monday we will go to Schaffhausen and Alessio will stay with his grandmother as he has Tuesday free as well! Lucky boy!!
Have a great weekend!
