Description

Today's stage is impressive, it takes us on the southern flank through the Rhine Gorge, the Swiss version of the "Grand Canyon", popular especially with water sports enthusiasts such as canoeists or rafters. The gorge has very steep flanks on both sides, so that the embarkation usually takes place in Ilanz and the disembarkation at the confluence of the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein near Reichenau. However, there is still a transport option, because the Rhaetian Railway (narrow gauge) runs on the Chur - Ilanz route through the gorge, with some bridges and tunnels. This route is also used in winter. So whatever the weather has in store for capers, we will definitely come to Ilanz.
Of course, we hope for sunny weather, because then this stage with its breathtaking views is an unforgettable treat. We will ascend at the beginning and enjoy the gorge from above, then we will descend to the Rhine, where we will then meet the Rhaetian Railway and follow it and the Rhine to Ilanz.

Geheimtipp

The stages in this documentation are suggestions that each pilgrim can adapt to his wishes. however, the technical data always concern the assumption that these stages are completed in one day.
