Ruinaulta Rhine Gorge
The Ruinaulta or Rhine Gorge is a gorge up to 400 meters deep and around 13 kilometers long in the Vorderrhein between Ilanz and the mouth of the Hinterrhein near Reichenau in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. The Romansh name 'Ruinaulta' is composed of the two words Ruina (scree slope, quarry) and aulta (high).
The Ruinaulta was created after the Flims landslide almost 10,000 years ago. At that time, over 10 billion cubic meters of rock broke off between the Flimserstein and the Piz Grisch and buried the Vorderrheintal between today's villages of Castrisch and Reichenau under a mass of rubble several hundred meters thick.
Since the Vorderrhein could no longer drain, a lake was dammed over a length of around 25 km. Over time, the river cut deep into the landslide masses and the resulting lake was able to drain completely. What remained was the Ruinaulta with its steep limestone rubble cliffs in impressive erosion formations.
