Schinschlucht, Canyon in Grisons, Switzerland.

The Schinschlucht canyon extends for 13 kilometers along the Rhine River, with limestone cliffs rising 400 meters above the water level.

The formation of Schinschlucht occurred approximately 10,000 years ago following the Flims rockslide, which shaped the current geological structure of the area.

The canyon serves as an outdoor classroom where students and researchers study the regional geology, ecology, and natural processes of the Swiss Alps.

Visitors can access the canyon through the Rhaetian Railway from Reichenau station, with a journey time of 30 minutes offering multiple stopping points.

The Punt Ruinaulta suspension bridge spans across the Rhine at Trin Station, representing the longest bridge structure in the Graubünden region.
