If the moment is right, you can also take a nice photo of the Hinterrhein. But please don't block the bridge. There is just enough room for one bicycle.

The restaurant is the entrance to the Roffla Gorge. The entrance fee of CHF 4 is well worth it. You can also enjoy a fine meal at the restaurant after the tour. The wooden tables in the garden restaurant come from the restaurant's own sawmill, and the awning in front of the restaurant comes from the restaurant's own spinning mill.

Beautiful, small town in the Schams Valley. A restaurant, a bakery, a butcher's shop and a small supermarket invite you to linger and get some refreshment. There are also fountains for filling up with water. If you like, you can also relax in the Andeer mineral baths.
