The Köberle Organ in the Reformed Church of Klosters 300 years old, but still remarkably rich in sound The small organ in the Reformed Church in Klosters is one of the three oldest playable organs in the churches of Graubünden. We know that it was built in 1686 by Elias Köberle in Konstanz. How it traveled from Lake Constance to the church in Serneus will never be known. In 1929, the people of Serneus acquired a new organ; the Köberle organ was moved to the Nutli-Hüschi Museum, where it remained silent for almost 70 years. Fourteen years ago, the municipality of Klosters-Serneus had the organ restored. Since then, it has stood in its place on the side gallery of the Reformed Church. Originally, like many other organs in the 17th century, it was built for use in the homes of wealthy bourgeois families. But with the surprisingly full sound of its five stops, this small instrument is still perfectly adequate for use in church services, even in place of a large organ.

Cross the Landquart via a bridge. Following the river, you pass through Schwäderloch, where you then follow the road to Äuja and the winter hiking trail. Shortly before Klosters, you cross the Landquart again and then walk through the village center to Klosters Platz train station.
