The Köberle Organ in the Reformed Church of Klosters 300 years old, but still remarkably rich in sound The small organ in the Reformed Church in Klosters is one of the three oldest playable organs in the churches of Graubünden. We know that it was built in 1686 by Elias Köberle in Konstanz. How it traveled from Lake Constance to the church in Serneus will never be known. In 1929, the people of Serneus acquired a new organ; the Köberle organ was moved to the Nutli-Hüschi Museum, where it remained silent for almost 70 years. Fourteen years ago, the municipality of Klosters-Serneus had the organ restored. Since then, it has stood in its place on the side gallery of the Reformed Church. Originally, like many other organs in the 17th century, it was built for use in the homes of wealthy bourgeois families. But with the surprisingly full sound of its five stops, this small instrument is still perfectly adequate for use in church services, even in place of a large organ.

Suspension Bridge over the Schlappintobel Gorge, Klosters The impressive suspension bridge over the Schlappintobel Gorge is an integral part of the Klosters High Trail and an important sub-project of the PRE Klosters (Practical Environment Klosters) project. Construction of the bridge began in spring 2017 and progressed rapidly. With a total length of an impressive 70.5 meters, the cable-and-wood structure spans the Schlappintobel Gorge, reaching a highest point of 19 meters above ground. In beautiful summer weather, the new bridge was inaugurated with a small bridge festival and opened to the public on June 10, 2017. The bridge can be reached on foot in 15 minutes from the Madrisa cable car valley station and is also suitable for hiking with young children. A few impressive figures about the suspension bridge: A single bridge pylon, 10.5 meters high, bears the entire load. 220 meters of suspension cables were installed (2 cables, each 110 meters long [3 x 15.7 mm]). 40 meters of cable anchors secure the structure (4 cables, each 10 meters long, 22.5 mm). 120 meters of wind bracing cables are in use (2 cables, each 60 meters long).

For us, it was a nearly 1 km long push. Partly rooty and rocky, and partly too exposed. Anyone who falls on a slope needs a good guardian angel. But at some point, the one kilometer is over.

A longer section of the GarfiumBike (SwitzerlandMobility Route 331), high above Monbiel and Klosters. Partly forest roads, but also partly singletrack (especially in the western sections), here S1 and S2. Often slightly exposed, the trail runs along a slope. Beautiful views of the valley are always present.

Is the one shown in the photos the Monbiel Suspension Bridge?? In any case, there is no suspension bridge at the highlight location on the map!

Beautiful views from the bike route in the alpine forest (SM 331, Alp Garfium).

Very beautiful, approx. 70 meter high bridge
