Kneipp-Anlage Obere Au
Wellness for your feet - the new Kneipp facility at the Mühlbach stream at Obere Au, Chur.

Description

Take a barefooted walk first on the grainy gravel of the footpath, then on the warm, rough wood of the footbridge and finally feeling the cool, refreshing water of the Mühlbach stream under your feet - the new, small Kneipp facility invigorates mind and body! It can be found on the walkway along the Obertor Mühlbach stream between the skate park and the boccia facility on the Obere Au in Chur.

Tips for use

  • The prerequisite for cold water application is a warm body. Never tread water with cold feet. Warm up beforehand with running or gymnastics.
  • When treading water, lift the feet out of the water with each step ("stork walk"). Only stay in the water until the legs feel a strong cold stimulus (max. 1 minute). Then wipe off the water and warm up again.

Kneipp hydrotherapy

Water as a carrier of thermal, mechanical and chemical stimuli causes the organism to react in a way that promotes health. Our unconscious basic functions such as breathing, circulation, heat balance, digestion, metabolism and so on are regulated by hydrotherapeutic stimuli, and the all-important immune system is activated.

Scenic fascinating golf course.

Description

The Domat/Ems golf course offers many opportunities for challenging rounds. It's located in a Tuma landscape that is one of a kind in Switzerland ("Tumas" is the Romansh word for a moraine). Several small lakes, water hazards, an island green with tee as well as numerous sand bunkers are the main characteristics of the course. There are three 9-hole courses with a flat layout. The fairways are generous and many greens are heavily undulated.  Four sets of tees make for a fair and diverse round of gold.

The large driving range with grass tees, sand bunker, putting green as well as chipping and pitching area is well known in the golf scene as one of Switzerland's best training grounds.

Mountain Summit Chur

Rote Platte 1506m

Markant: Die Rote Platte von unten gesehen
Aussicht von der Roten Platte
The view from the top of the Rot Platte is breathtaking.

Description

A prominent vantage point that stands out from the middle of the fabled Scaläratobel ravine and is clearly visible as reddish peak from the Chur side. The summit is at 1,506 m and is part of Montalin massif, the main summit of which is 760 meters above the Rote Platte. The second half of the hiking route is pretty steep and the ascent can be quite slippery after it has rained or snowed. The final climb to the summit and the summit itself are exposed and are only advisable for sure-footed hikers with a head for heights. But the view from the summit to Chur and the Rhine Valley is simply breath-taking.

Historical Site Chur

Obertor

Obertor
Obertor
The Obertor is a historical landmark of the city of Chur and at the same time the entrance gate to the car-free old town.

Description

The Obertor, together with the Malteserturm and the Sennhofturm, are the towers of the medieval fortifications that are still standing today. Thanks to its attractive appearance, the Obertor soon advanced to become one of Chur's landmarks. While the four-storey building, which narrows towards the top, fits into the overall structure of the settlement, at the same time it stands apart from the other terraced buildings due to its light exterior. The paintings in the archway, some of which are based on old views of the city, date from the 20th century.

Bärenloch

Bärenloch
Bear hole - two medieval courtyards.

Description

The Bärenloch, or "bear hole", is one of the most enchanted places in the city of Chur - and at the same time one of the bestpreserved parts of the Old Town. The origin of this name, given to the two interior courtyards between Arcas Platz and Kirchgasse, is unknown - yet it is an appropriate description all the same. However, in ancient documents the dark Bärenloch is referred to as "curschellas", a late Latin term simply meaning "small courtyard rooms". Indeed, the two rooms still seem small and cramped to this day, thus making the Bärenloch a good example of the living situation in late Medieval Chur

Naherholungsgebiet Mühlbach Obere Au
Enjoy sunny walks along the renatured Obertorer Mühlbach, which flows through the area of the Obere Au sports facilities.

Description

The Obertorer Mühlbach stream was relocated over a length of about 550 m. The course of the stream begins at the end of the intersection Rossboden- / Pulvermühlestrasse and ends at the bus stop at Oberen Au. Water is flowing through the ecologically designed, renaturalised riverbed since mid-April 2019. The amount of water has been reduced and the stream can therefore also be entered. Best place to enter it is at the Kneipp water-treading basin near the boccia facility.

The renaturalised riverbed thus enables habitats for animals and a local recreation area for walkers and cyclists. The boccia and skate park are located right next to the inviting banks of the Mühlbach stream. Curved pedestrian bridges allow safe crossing of the stream and large concrete steps along the shore at the skate park invite you to linger.

In the area of the field sports stadium construction site, the Mühlbach runs temporary underground over a length of 30 metres until 2025.

Opening hours

The Mühlbach stream is freely accessible at any time.
