Dorfführung Churwalden

Already during the time of the Romans and throughout the Middle Ages, a road led from Chur through the Churwaldner Valley and over the Septimer to Italy. As a main post station with horse changes, Churwalden was well connected to the main towns along the Engadine route as well as to St. Gallen, Zurich, Basel, and Lucerne. The spa guests enjoyed the pure, invigorating alpine air, spiced with the balsam scent of the spruce and larch forests, as well as the excellent cow and goat milk whey. This marked the beginning of a tourist spa resort. Today, Churwalden is the gateway to the holiday destination Arosa - Lenzerheide. The traditionally pure alpine air also favors the production of dried meat, as the cradle of Bündnerfleisch and Salsize lies in Churwalden.
