Hiking
The romantic Hohen Rätien Castle towers 946 meters above the small town of Thusis. It is believed that the castle complex was built long before Roman times (around 1800 BC). To this day, the grounds have been lovingly restored without becoming an overcrowded tourist destination. Around every corner, you'll find a secluded spot all to yourself. It's especially beautiful here in summer, when the wildflower meadows are in bloom and you can picnic under the open sky.

The detour from the Via Spluga to the castle ruin High Rätien is worth it alone because of the great view!

Hiking
Great castle complex, whose roots go from the Bronze Age, through the Romans to the Middle Ages!
5Chf entry at a money box, but lots of audio guides that you can load onto your mobile phone using a QR code.
Several barbecue areas and resting places, well with water!
Beware of the unsecured cliff!
