Naturpark Beverin - Close-up impressions of the Roffla Gorge as you hear the roar of a waterfall and can even make your way beneath the Rhine.

Inspired by the Niagara Falls, the American émigré Christan Pitschen-Melchior began to cut a path through the gorge in 1907. Seven years and 8000 explosions later, his work was done. Nowadays, a narrow path leads from the historic inn along the rocky gallery to the waterfall at the heart of the gorge. You can find out about the story of this man's lifetime's work in the local museum.
