Roffla Gorge and Roffla Gorge Guesthouse
Highlight • Gorge
This rock gallery was built in the winters of 1907-14 by the then landlord and owner Christian Pitschen-Melchior. The history of this life's work, why and how it came about, can be viewed in the house museum.
The hike into the gorge and back takes about half an hour, including the museum, although you can of course also linger and enjoy for over an hour.

Sufnersee
Highlight • Lake
The Sufnersee is located in the area of the municipalities of Sufers and Rheinwald. The lake can be reached via the San Bernardino route. The A13 runs along the lake. The only town on the lake is Sufers.
The Sufers dam was completed in 1962. Around 30 hectares of meadowland were lost. To compensate for this loss, the existing humus was extracted from the reservoir during construction and distributed over poor soils. These soil improvements made it possible to increase agricultural production. There is no power plant on the lake, the water is channeled to the Bärenburg power station or via the Lago di Lei reservoir and the Ferrera balancing basin to the Ferrera power station.

Hinterrhein Village
Highlight • Settlement
Around 1270 the first Walsers came from the Val Formazza via the Misox to the Hinterrhein. This made Hinterrhein the oldest Walser settlement in Graubünden. In 1274 two settlers from Hinterrhein signed a vassal contract with the Lord of Sax-Misox. But Baron Walter IV von Vaz, who owned the Schams and the area up to Splügen, which was still inhabited by Romans, as an episcopal fief, tried in 1277 to sign a protection agreement with the Theutunici of Hinterrhein. In 1286 the monastery of San Vittore bequeathed the land in the valley to the colonists in Hinterrhein for an annual interest of 16 pounds. This obligation to pay interest was only replaced in 1773 with 100 Lire di Milano. This contract of inheritance names the origins of 16 colonists: Val Formazza (Pomatt), Simplon, Brig, Valle Maggia. The term Walser first appeared in this area around 1599.
With the construction of the commercial road from Chur to Bellinzona in 1820 and the opening of the Gotthard railway in 1882, the residents of the Hinterrhein lost their source of income from the many centuries of mule trading. The Alte Landbrugg above the Hinterrhein dates back to the time of the mule trade. Thanks to the San Bernardino road tunnel opened in 1967, Hinterrhein is now easily accessible from the north and south both in summer and in winter. Milan and Zurich can be reached in two hours.

You can live particularly peacefully and eat very, very well in the “Hotel Bodenhaus”. It is rumored that Napoleon, Queen Victoria and Albert lived here. More information: hotel-bodenhaus.ch.
