Burg Rappenstein
Built around 1250

Description

Cave castle. Strong wall with window slits and high entrance. Remains of wooden beams mark the position of the arbours and external stairs leading to the high entrance. Remains of beams on the top of the wall hint at a roof construction or a wooden upper section. The interior of the cave is largely filled with rock debris. A narrow gap at the foot of the outer wall makes it possible to climb inside the cave.

Evangelische Kirche
12th c.; choir from 1350; reconstruction in 1764; tower from 1687/1764

Description

The church is nestled against the castle hill, finding shelter for itself and its visitors. This impression is supported by the almost completely closed facades facing north and west. The sacral, Gothic choir room stands in dialogue with the nave, which is dominated by wooden fixtures. The galleries on the northern and western walls were built due to the lack of expansion possibilities.

Evangelische Kirche
1340; 1711; renovated in 1935 and 1980

Description

The slender tower, which was raised in 1698, pulled the whole church skywards with it, so to speak. The choir and nave were lengthened in 1711 and now stand together as one harmonious, unadorned, and sacred work of art. The church is mentioned in 1340 as St. Andrew's Church, and later it was established as a Reformed church in 1644. The cemetery makes an open connection to the former royal court (mentioned in 955).

Trimmis
Trimmis

Description

The municipality of Trimmis has exceptional local recreation areas in the area of leisure activities. Hiking, jogging, biking and much more are possible from the valley to the highest mountains. The so-called Witenen against Chur have a special appeal. Their dry stone walls, pastures, hedgerows and forests are of great importance as a local recreation area. The magnificent view of the Calanda, the Falknis, the Vial and the Caral, the local mountain of Trimmis, high above Stams, as well as the sunny location invite you to dream.

Untervaz

Description

The residential community of Untervaz is located on the left side of the Graubünden Rhine Valley and nestles harmoniously in the corner of the Val Cosenz, at the foot of the Calanda. The Haldensteiner Calanda (2806 m above sea level) forms the highest point of the municipality. Three castle ruins belong to Untervaz, all of which were left to decay by their last owners: 2 km southeast of the village lies the ruins of Neuburg on a rocky head above the Rhine. To the west of the village, in a narrow and damp crevice in the Valcosenz lies the ruins of Rappenstein Castle from the 13th century. Today, only remnants of the third Friewis Castle and the bath that operated there can be seen. The water of two springs had healing properties.

Zizers

Description

The municipality of Zizers is located in the north of the canton of Graubünden, in the middle of the Chur Rhine Valley.  In addition to nature, which is easily accessible around Zizers by public transport such as bus or train, the surrounding area has many interesting neighboring towns and communities to offer that are worth a visit. In Zizers, no one needs to go hungry due to the number of restaurants. The spectrum ranges from Italian restaurants, Chinese restaurants to restaurants with German cuisine. For sports enthusiasts, there is the pump track in Zizers. The pump track Zizers, built in 2016, nestled in a beautiful landscape with lots of forest and open space, is located on the outskirts of the village of Zizers.   With a length of 240 metres, the asphalt circuit with 10 banked curves and 42 bumps is one of the longest in the canton of Graubünden. Some benches at the edge of the forest and a beautiful lark fountain with drinking water also invite parents and grandparents to linger together with the young people and children. Right next to the facility is the children's playground "Föhrenwäldli" with an open fireplace for grilling, wooden tables with benches, play equipment for the little ones and a toilet facility. Parking is also available. The facilities can be used free of charge by locals and tourists from near and far during the snow-free period.
