The panoramic road literally winds its way to Wergenstein. The elevation gain is made on a small agricultural road through fragrant mountain meadows.

Description

This road cycling route starts in Zillis (944 m a.s.l.) and leads you through the villages of the Muntogna da Schons, German for the villages of the Schams mountain. Until Donat, it is still a warm-up, but after that, the rhythmic and entertaining climb to Lohn (1585 m a.s.l.) really begins. The climb is a hidden gem, hardly anything better exists for road cycling enthusiasts – perfect asphalt, fantastic hairpin turns, almost no traffic. From Lohn, the panoramic road meanders with some fast turns and epic panorama to Mathon (1555 m a.s.l.) and Wergenstein (1486 m a.s.l.). A steep, concreted agricultural road takes you to Casti (1170 m a.s.l.). At the entrance to Donat, the route turns right and leads over an impressive wooden bridge to Clugin (1006 m a.s.l.) and finally back down to the valley at the Hinterrhein. On the Rhine bike path, you then ride leisurely back to the starting point Zillis.

Exhibition Church of St. Martin

Since summer 1993, the permanent exhibition on the world-famous Romanesque picture ceiling of St Martin's Church has been located on the main street in Zillis (a 5-minute walk from the church). It is worth visiting the exhibition first and then the church.
