Details

Description

From Chur, follow the course of the Rhine and cross the villages of Felsberg and Tamins to the confluence of the Rhine at Reichenau. You then reach the high plateau of the municipalities of Bonaduz and Rhäzüns. The route takes you past the historic Sogn Gieri church. Optionally, you can plan a detour to Rhäzüns to visit the church of Sogn Paul. The new Hinterrheinsteg, which connects national cycle routes no. 2 (Rhine route) and no. 6 (Graubünden route), finally takes you back to Chur via the Domat/Ems golf course. 

The new Hinterrheinsteg opens up many possibilities and is also suitable for families.

Alpine Rhine
The Rhine rises in the Grisons Alps, the Vorderrhein near Lake Toma, Oberalppass in the Surselva and the Hinterrhein near the Rheinwaldhorn in the Hinterrhein/Viamala region. At Reichenau-Tamins, the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein join to form the Rhine, which then flows past the city of Chur through the Graubünden and St. Gallen Rhine valleys into Lake Constance and on to the North Sea.
