Spazierweg Feldis

Why would someone build a settlement at 1470 meters above sea level? From today's perspective, the place where the first Feldisers built their houses seems somewhat exotic. Little is known about the origins of the village, old settlement remains are missing. Only from Roman times do individual coin finds come from, and it is believed that the church of St. Hippolytus could stand on a pre-Christian cult site. Feldis even owes its name to Hippolytus, the saint of prison guards and horses: Over several stages, Hippolytus became Feldis or Veulden, as the Romanesque name is. In 1900, almost the entire village population still spoke Romansh, but now the proportion is less than 15 percent.

At the mountain station of the Rhäzüns-Feldis cable car, you will find the free brochure (MiniGuide), which provides exciting information about eleven selected locations and/or objects. The time required is about 45 minutes.

Another station is located on Mutta - between Feldis and the Dreibündenstein. Thirteen tall, slender female figures made of Feldis larch wood rise into the air. They tell how fire, earth, air and water rule over Feldis, how the elements make life on the mountain easier and at the same time shape it.

The journey with the Rhäzüns-Feldis cable car high above the Rhäzünser Rheinauen is considered an insider tip.
