Domleschg: Feldis - Graubünden, Schweiz: Casealas/Fulberg
Domleschg has served as a farming valley in Grisons since Roman times. Set along the Hinterrhein between Chur and Thusis, this broad lowland is defined by cultivated fields, orchards and clusters of old settlements beneath the surrounding Alpine slopes. The present municipality was created in 2015 through the merger of Almens, Paspels, Pratval, Rodels and Tomils. Domleschg is often called the orchard of Graubünden, reflecting its long tradition of fruit growing. Castles are another mark of the valley: Ortenstein at Tomils and Baldenstein at nearby Sils im Domleschg recall the strategic importance of the Rhine corridor. Despite its proximity to major north–south routes, the area retains a distinctly rural rhythm.

Domleschg combines a cultivated valley floor with rugged Alpine slopes in a way that reflects its geographic position along the Hinterrhein in Grisons. This broad section of the Rhine valley lies between Thusis and Rothenbrunnen, where fields, orchards and villages meet wooded hillsides. The communities now forming the municipality retain a distinctly rural character, while important north–south routes through Graubünden run nearby. Medieval Ortenstein Castle in Tomils is one of the valley’s lasting historic landmarks, recalling the strategic importance of passages through this part of the Alps.

The terrain of Grisons ranges from high Alpine valleys in the south to the broad Rhine valley in the north, shaping Switzerland’s largest and most linguistically diverse canton. The Inn flows through the Engadin, while the Rhine has long connected Chur, the cantonal capital, with the rest of central Europe. Romansh remains a defining regional language alongside German and Italian. The Rhaetian Railway’s Albula and Bernina lines, recognised by UNESCO, cross dramatic mountain country with remarkable engineering.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
