Grabs

Few communities in St. Gallen have a history as closely tied to the medieval lordship of Werdenberg as Grabs. The municipality occupies a broad stretch of the Rhine Valley, where the River Rhine forms Switzerland’s frontier with Liechtenstein, and rises westward into the foothills of the Alpstein range. Its older settlement developed in a farming landscape between the valley floor and mountain pastures, while nearby Werdenberg Castle recalls the regional power that shaped this part of eastern Switzerland for centuries. Grabs remains a practical base for exploring the contrast between the open Rhine plain and the higher terrain above it.
