Description

This stage takes us from Chur towards the Graubünden Oberland, also called Surselva by the locals. From Chur, we initially hike along the southern edge of the wide Rhine valley and cross a few side valleys here. From Kalkofen, the path leads us to Domat/Ems, mostly across fields at the bottom of the valley. At Domat/Ems we first cross the tracks of the Rhaetian Railway at the station, then walk between the two hills "Tuma Tschelli" and "Tuma Casti" and then circle the second to the north. This brings us to the Rhine power plant, where we cross the weir to reach the island of Barnaus, which we leave a little upstream towards the north bank.
Here we reach the «Senda Sursilvana», the hiking trail through the Surselva, which will be part of our route again and again for the next few days. If the way to Trin-Digg is too long for you, you can already look for a suitable place to stay in Domat/Ems or Tamins.
