Untervaz

The residential community of Untervaz lies on the left side of the Grisons Rhine Valley and nestles harmoniously, at the foot of the Calanda, in the corner of the Val Cosenz. The Haldensteiner Calanda (2806 m above sea level) forms the highest point of the municipality. Three castle ruins belong to Untervaz, all of which were left to decay by their last owners: 2 km southeast of the village lies the ruins of Neuburg on a rock head above the Rhine. West of the village in a narrow and damp crevice in Valcosenz lies the ruins of Rappenstein Castle from the 13th century. Of the third castle Friewis and the bath operated there, only remains can be seen today. The water of two springs had healing effects.
