Eastern Switzerland and Grisons

Eastern Switzerland offers tremendous diversity: from the traditional hilly landscape of the Appenzell region to the vastness of Lake Constance, the impressive mountain world around Säntis, and the city of St. Gallen with its Abbey District, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lake Constance, with its picturesque lakeside towns, is ideal for relaxing boat trips, bike rides, or leisurely walks. And the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen, Europe's largest waterfall, thunders impressively over a rocky cliff. The medieval old town of Schaffhausen provides a perfect historical contrast to the natural spectacle on the Rhine.

Grisons, a land of three languages and 150 valleys, impresses not only with its monumental nature, but also with its deeply rooted history, which remains alive in centuries-old traditions and culture. While the Grisons Oberland, with its wild Rhine Gorge and historic monasteries such as Disentis, preserves the spirit of alpine authenticity, the Engadin, with its stately patrician houses, tells of its former importance as a strategic Alpine crossing and cradle of early winter tourism. This historical depth, combined with the Romansh, Italian, and Swiss German cultures, blends with modern flair today. From UNESCO World Heritage railway experiences to sgraffito-decorated alleys, the canton offers a timeless journey, nestled in the incomparable backdrop of the Swiss Eastern Alps.
