Confluence of the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein, Reichenau
Dominated by Reichenau Castle, the hamlet lies at the confluence of the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein rivers, making it virtually the birthplace of the Rhine.
It all began 10,000 years ago. Between the Flimserstein (a high plateau) and Piz Grisch, over 10,000 cubic meters of rock broke off and thundered down into the valley. Towards Reichenau, the Vorderrhein valley disappears under a gigantic mass of rubble. From there, the Rhine diligently ate its way through the rock, creating the spectacular Swiss "Grand Canyon" – the Ruinaulta.

In addition to Reichenau Castle and the bridge, the confluence of the Vorder and Hinterrhein rivers is another highlight of the small town. Especially the wide confluence should definitely be visited if you are in the vicinity.
