Description

The climatically mild Domleschg, known for its many castles and fruit growing, lies on the right side of the Hinterrhein between Sils i.D. and Feldis, which is situated high above Rothenbrunnen.


The hike starts in Scharans, a historic village located on a sunny terrace with stately and culturally significant buildings in a nationally important villagescape. Settlements were built here as far back as the Bronze and Stone Ages.


From Scharans, the route leads to Almens and further to the idyllic Lake Canova, inviting you to swim and relax. The hike continues through the village of Paspels to the ruins of Old and New Sins from the 12th century as well as the privately owned Paspels Castle.


The path continues comfortably to Tomils before the ascent over Scheid up to Feldis. After overcoming 700 meters of altitude gain, we reach a settlement located on a high plateau, which was first mentioned in documents in the 13th century.


From Feldis, you can take the PostBus via Tomils to Rothenbrunnen or Thusis or use the Rhäzüns-Feldis cable car to Rhäzüns and then walk a short distance to Rhäzüns train station.
