A worthwhile short tour out of the city of Chur. It leads through the beautiful Fuerstenwald forest recreation area to the rural village of Trimmis and along the Rhine back to the Alpine City. On the way back, you cross the Rhine on the Pardislabrücke bridge, which is well worth seeing, the Plessur on the Italian bridge and finally you return through the picturesque old town to the starting point at Chur railway station.
