21 Prättigauer Route Radweg von Klosters nach Sargans

The starting point is in the largest municipality of the Prättigau, in the illustrious spa town of Klosters, always a bit in competition with the sophisticated urban Davos. The route falls down to the Landquart, suddenly a huge concrete eagle swings over the valley; the elegant, 70-metre-high cable-stayed bridge by the ingenious bridge builder Christian Menn was inaugurated in 2005.

Along the river Landquart it goes through the elongated Prättigau with its villages in the valley, on terraces and in side valleys. Once Romanesque, the Prättigau is now a German-speaking valley, flanked by high mountains such as Silvretta and Rätikon, which contribute to the harsh climate of the valley.

A narrow gorge, the landscape widens and in the station Landquart is diligently changed. The route finds the Rhine dam and the healing springs of Bad Ragaz, and finally lands in Sargans, a hub of all traffic flows.
