Sand Beaches in Chur

Chur, situated in the canton of Grisons in Switzerland, is surrounded by a variety of natural attractions, including a selection of unique sand beaches. Sand beaches, in general, are known for their fine granular surface formed by the erosion of rocks over time and the deposit of the resulting particles by water currents.

Gletschermühlen, located in Trin Mulin, is a unique natural attraction renowned for its glacial mills or "Gletschermühlen," which are natural bathtubs created by the Maliensbach river rotating large stones, sand, and gravel over hundreds of years. The most striking collection of these glacial mills is located near Mutta Sura, offering visitors a refreshing natural bath during the summer months. The region is also known for its Strudeltöpfe, round holes formed by the movement of glaciers, making Gletschermühlen a popular spot for photography enthusiasts.
