Description

This stage takes us from Chur towards the Grisons Oberland, also called Surselva by the locals. From Chur we initially hike on the southern edge of the wide Rhine Valley and cross a few side valleys here. From Kalkofen the path leads us to Domat/Ems then mostly over fields in the valley floor. At Domat/Ems we first cross the tracks of the Rhaetian Railway at the train station, then walk between the two hills "Tuma Tschelli" and "Tuma Casti" and then circle the second one to the north. This brings us to the Rhine power plant, where we reach the island of Barnaus via the weir, which we leave a little upstream towards the north bank.
Here we reach the «Senda Sursilvana», the hiking trail through the Surselva, which will be part of our route again and again over the next few days. If the way to Trin-Digg is too long for you, you can already look around Domat/Ems or Tamins for a suitable overnight stay.
