Description

Welcome to the source of the Rhine!

Life is a journey, they say. If this is true, you should take a break from time to time on this trip - and linger in the Rheinwald. Here you are, after all, at the source of life. Here rises the Hinterrhein, one of the most important source rivers of the Rhine, which connects millions of people over 1200 kilometers.

The secrets of the Rhine can be experienced on the 4.5 kilometre long Rhine source path between Hinterrhein and Nufenen. And you can easily discover the picturesque villages Hinterrhein, Nufenen, Medels, Splügen and Sufers. In and at selected fountains there is information about the villages.

Any hiking trail closures/restrictions or diversions can be found here.

Geheimtipp

Combine the hike with a postbus ride.

Ausrüstung

Info Point Viamala
Der Weg des Rheins
The source area of the Rhine is simply called Origin. And this origin lies in the so-called paradise, on the slopes of the Rheinquellhorn. Very close to paradise, on the other hand, lies a rocky abyss: the so-called hell.
