Confluence of the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein

Highlight • River

Confluence of the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein, Reichenau
Dominated by Reichenau Castle, the hamlet lies at the confluence of the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein rivers, making it virtually the birthplace of the Rhine.
It all began 10,000 years ago. Between the Flimserstein (a high plateau) and Piz Grisch, over 10,000 cubic meters of rock broke off and thundered down into the valley. Towards Reichenau, the Vorderrhein valley disappears under a gigantic mass of rubble. From there, the Rhine diligently ate its way through the rock, creating the spectacular Swiss "Grand Canyon" – the Ruinaulta.

Valendas Wooden Fountain

Highlight • Monument

The wooden fountain, the landmark of Valendas, was built in 1760. At the beginning of the 20th century, residents still fetched their water and washed their clothes here. To this day, guarded by a water nymph, it remains the heart of the village.

View of the church in Versam

Highlight • Religious Site

Until the middle of the 17th century, Versam and its farms formed a single parish with Valendas. The parish church and burial site were in Valendas. Before the Reformation, Versam had only one chapel. The organ in the church in Versam is not only a feast for the ears, but also for the eyes. This magnificent work was built by the organ maker Pankraz Keyser from St. Margrethen.
