Sargans Switzerland

The town that I live in, Sargans, is a municipality in the Wahlkreis (constituency) of Sarganserland in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland.

Sargans is known for its castle, which dates from before the founding of the Swiss Confederation in 1291. Sargans was also a County of the Holy Roman Empire. The A3 national motorway ends at Sargans; the portion north toward St. Margrethen and the portion east toward Landquart, Chur, San Bernardino and ultimately Bellinzona are all part of the A13 national motorway.
Trains heading north toward St. Gallen, east toward Chur and Ticino, and toward Austria, all pass through Sargans. Buses heading toward Liechtenstein also leave Sargans.

Here are a few shots from Mount Gonzen that I took this morning looking down at Sargans and the Rhine Valley:
Most of the year, the smell of methane is very prominent, cows on Mt Gonzen
a typical Swiss residence on the mountain side with an incredible view
