The hiking trail sneaks alongside the road and railway through the valley gorge to Oberwald during the first one and a half hours of walking. Still above the first village, we encounter the pilgrim and travel saint in the Nikolaus chapel. In Oberwald we find a Holy Cross church. The next 20 km in the dreamily beautiful U-shaped valley have almost no gradient. From every sun-browned wooden house village, a dazzling white church tower rises, with green forests in the background. The Rottenweg leads us to Geschinen and over a magnificent meadow path we reach Münster (Monasterium, former monastery). In the parish church of the former large parish, one of the most beautiful Gothic altars in Switzerland awaits us, as does the adjoining parish museum, the quaint little Peterskirche and the remarkably Baroque-appointed Antonius chapel on the Biel." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2840985/dd90eadeacdc155ee101d566fbd7715c924b882368c04383c9b5f4c0f588c22e/m-nster-pfarrkirche-im-dorfzentrum.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Blatten-Belalp > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Rhein-Reuss-Rhône route: Gletsch - Münster ========================================== - Tip - 15.31 km long - Difficulty: easy - Condition: very easy - Great panorama - Pilgrimage route Münster: Pfarrkirche im Dorfzentrum St. Christophorus Kapelle, Unterwasser/Oberwald Obergesteln, Friedhofskapelle St. Anna-Kapelle im Weiler «im Loch» bei Ulrichen Grand Hotel Glacier du Rhône, Gletsch Kapelle St. Niklaus, Oberwald St.-Katharina-Kapelle im Wyler Geschinen Wallfahrtskirche, Oberwald St.-Katharina-Kapelle im Wyler Geschinen St. Antonius-Kapelle auf dem Biel zu Münster - 4:14 h - 15.31 km - 134 m - 501 m - 1,339 m - 1,775 m - Difficulty: easy - - Start: Gletsch at the Grand Hotel Glacier du Rhône - Destination: Münster at the parish church The Rhein-Reuss-Rhône route connects the Graubünden Surselva to the vicinity of Lake Geneva.
