  • Albulabanan Jarnvag.Ch På Rhätische Bahn I Schweiz
    Albulabanan jarnvag.ch på Rhätische Bahn i Schweiz En skiss över Rhätische Bahns järnvägsnät i sydöstra Schweiz finns till höger. Albulabanan leder från Chur över Thusis och Filisur till St Moritz. Delen Thusis – St Moritz leder genom en mycket bergig terräng och hör till UNESCOs världskulturarv. För att kunna bygga denna fantastiska järnväg konstruerades många broar, viadukter och tunnlar. Banan är elektrifierad med enfas växelström 11 kV 16 2/3 Hz och är som hela Rhätische Bahn meterspårig Den meterspåriga Rhätische Bahn började 1889 som Landquart-Davos Bahn, se separat artikel. Denna första järnvägsdel förlängdes 1894-96 från Landquart över Chur till Thusis. Samma år som den delen blev färdig ändrades banans namn från Landquart-Davos Bahn till Rhätische Bahn (RhB). I slutet av 1800-talet skulle den stora dalen Engadin (Inn-dalen) med St. Moritz i Graubünden få järnvägsanslutning. För detta ändamål fanns det planer på att bygga banan dit från Davos över Septimerpasset, men till slut segrade ett annat förslag: att bygga banan från Thusis via Albula till kurorten St. Moritz i Engadin. Denna järnväg, kallad Albulabanan, byggdes 1898-1904 av som mest 5000 rallare. Banan är anlagd i bitvis mycket svår terräng, som krävt avancerade tekniska lösningar, bl.a. flera ingenjörstekninska mästerverk: Landwasserviadukten, Albulatunneln och avsnittet Bergün-Preda med de många spiraltunnlarna. Totalt måste det byggas 55 broar och 39 tunnlar längs den 62 km långa sträckan. Genom detta blev Albulabanan också en av de intressantaste järnvägarna över huvud taget. Hela Albulabanan blev därför UNESCO-världskulturarv 2008, tillsammans med den anslutande Berninabanan. Linjebeskrivning Albulabanan börjar i Thusis, där den som sagt ansluter till den tidigare byggda järnvägen Landquart – Chur – Thusis.

  • Hiking in Lenzerheide, Switzerland - KÜHL Blog
    Trip Report: Hiking in Lenzerheide, Switzerland - KÜHL Blog Trip Report: Hiking in Lenzerheide, Switzerland HIKING TRAVEL TRIP REPORTS By Kühl Editor on October 4, 2019 When I arrived at the Swiss ski area, Arosa Lenzerheide, in the canton of Graubünden, in early September, I embarked on a memorable Grison Alps adventure. I explored the lush green valley and its pristine alpine lake and also trekked down from the rocky surface of the Rothorn Summit to the midpoint at Scharmoin. Arosa Lenzerheide A Room with a View Checking in at the modern Revier Mountain Lodge was done electronically at a high tech computer console. I had to guess at some of the required responses since the prompts were in German. All of the rooms are arranged on one side of each floor’s corridor and are accessed by a multiple digit code obtained during check-in. Each doorway entrance has a whimsical English saying. Two of my favorites were Follow Your Dreams and Tonight is https://www.kuhl.com/borninthemountains/trip-report-hiking-lenzerheide-switzerland/[10/7/19, 3:59:32 PM] Trip Report: Hiking in Lenzerheide, Switzerland - KÜHL Blog the Night. The focal point of my simple wood-paneled room was an oversized picture window with an incredible view of the fertile valley. The turquoise colored Lake Heidsee glistened against the backdrop of dark green foliage and surrounding mountains. Off in the distance, I could see the telltale sign of ski runs carved into the slopes. View from Revier Mountain Lodge Few hotel accommodations offer an unobstructed view of Mother Nature’s handiwork.
