Hiking
For a long time, Siechastuda has served as a refuge. Until around 1700, lepers lived here in a plague house, separated from the other villagers. Today, plants and animals that depend on wetlands seek refuge here, as these are now scarce in the intensively farmed Rhine Valley of Graubünden. But it's not just water-loving creatures like the beaver that feel at home in this protected habitat of national importance. Well over 200 plant species, butterflies, bats, hedgehogs, martens, snakes, deer, and many other animals appreciate this near-natural island in the agricultural area.
