Chickens, dogs and cats, horses, bees, cows and sheep - shoveling, watering, felling, mucking, sweeping, transporting: there is a lot to marvel at and do here. Plucking marigold petals, dyeing sheep's wool, tasting nettle chips, making a fire, sniffing beeswax and lavender, losing our fear of dogs or reversing into a parking space with the pedal tractor, carving while sitting, singing and spending time with Nilla and Hilarius – we want to spend a lot of time outdoors and watch what nature and animals are doing.

On our farm live 14 Scottish Highland cattle, 39 sheep, 19 chickens, a cat, the dog Ronja and our two horses. The cows and sheep are on the alp from mid-June to mid-September and on the pastures in April/May and October/November.

In the shadow of the Kirche St. Martin is a row of houses of considerable historical significance. Situated on Martinsplatz itself, Haus Reydt, with its three-storey oriel, was built in 1574 in the late Gothic style. Adjoining it is Haus Menhardt, erected the same year and in the same style. Next door is the even older Antistitium, whose neighbouring building contains important paintings from 1580. These depict, in a comical reversal of reality, rabbits catching a hunter. The Zunfthaus der Schneider (guildhall of the tailors’ guild) was rebuilt following the city fire in 1464. Today it houses an armchair theatre.

The St. Martin's square lies in the oldest part of Chur, midway between the two towers, the Obertor and the Untertor, thus forming part of the historical north-south route through the inner city. It is dominated by the Kirche St. Martin. The Martinsbrunnen dates from 1716. Its basin is adorned with signs of the zodiac. Apart from the sign-holder and the columns, the fountain is still in its original state.
