Flusslinien und Burgkonturen Gravelrunde

After the bridge crossings, the route runs along quiet paths in the direction of Domleschg. As the distance increases, the cultural landscapes of the valley open up, and the gaze is always directed to Ortenstein Castle, one of the most striking buildings in the region, located high above the valley. A vantage point along the route offers a particularly beautiful view of the castle and the surrounding mountain scenery.

In the further course, the tour follows a quiet section along the Hinterrhein, which convinces with easily drivable paths and natural surroundings. The scenic conclusion is the entrance to the Viamala Gorge, where the imposing gorge landscape announces itself.

The return journey leads on the same or a slightly varied route back to the starting point in Thusis. Thanks to the moderate length and the well-developed paths, the tour is ideal for gravel bike riders with a good basic level of fitness who are looking for a compact, scenically varied round.
