The Chastè peninsula, the Juvel of Lake Sils, is where poets and philosophers would have wanted to stay forever. For F. Nietzsche it was also one of the most beautiful places in the Engadine, which is why the memorial plaque was erected here.

Hiking

Memorial plaque directly on the hiking trail. Inscription is very interesting. Wonderful photo stop. Quiet place in the shade with a wonderful view.

Hiking

A rock with a wonderful Nietzsche text from Zarathustra. Here he often walked. The beautiful memorial stone was erected in 1900, the year of Nietzsche's death.
