World Monument Salginatobel Bridge - Historical Circular Route

The circular route starts at the Chalchofen Hut in the Schraubach Gorge. The path is already signposted from the station and leads from the hut in about an hour around the world monument and back to the starting point.

The view from the bridge into the gorge is simply magnificent! Over 90 meters the gaze wanders into the depths before you can see the stream far below. Those who want can take a detour under the bridge, the hollow box is partially accessible and very impressive. 100 meters after the bridge, the hiking trail then leads back towards the valley. Look back and marvel at the engineering feat that has given the people of Schiers the only engineering world monument in Switzerland.

This round trip starts at the 'Chalchofenhütte' in the Schraubachtobel. The historic path is signalled right from the station Schiers and leads you from the cabin within an hour round the Salgina-World-Monument Bridge back to the starting point. The ascent to the panoramic vantage point is on the right side of the gorge. The short detour to the platform is signalled and is definitely worth the few additional metres, because from there the bridge presents itself from a special angle. After having taken a number of photos you continue climbing up to the bridge. The view from the bridge down to the gorge is simply breathtaking. The gaze roames 90 metres down before you can recognize the Schraubach deep down. You might dare to make a detour underneath the bridge which is rather impressive. On the right of the bridge the trail takes you back in the direction of Schiers.
 It is worth looking back now and then in astonishment of the engineer's skill which has granted the population of Schiers the only World-Monument of Switzerland.
