Description

Why does Obersaxen have so many chapels? One reason is certainly the location and the division of the 30 hamlets on the 12-kilometre-long panoramic terrace. The deep gorges with their streams, the snowy winters, and the poor connecting paths were nearly insurmountable obstacles to regularly attend the church services in Meierhof. 

On this circular hiking route, you will discover five of 11 chapels and the parish church of St. Peter and Paul in Meierhof.

The stories and interesting background information about the sacred buildings are compiled in the art guide Churches and Chapels of Obersaxen, Surcuolm, and Flond. This can be purchased at the information office in Obersaxen Meierhof.
