Burg Wackenau - The ruins of Wackenau Castle are situated in the municipality of Bonaduz in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. These sparse ruins of the former Spornburg lie at 630 meters above sea level, about three kilometers northwest of the community, perched above a loop of the Vorderrhein. You can capture photos of this site from the train.

Museum Regiunal Surselva - The Regiunal Surselva Museum takes us back to the pre-industrial era, characterized by crafts, agriculture, and housekeeping. The permanent exhibition in the historic Casa Carniec spans seven floors, showcasing how people in earlier times managed their lives and organized themselves in families and village communities.

Laax - After visiting Ilanz, we drive towards Flims, passing picturesque villages such as Schluein and Laax. In Laax, you can see the valley station of the renowned Crap Sogn Gion ski area and the newly developed rock resort made of Vals granite, before continuing to Lake Cauma.
-
Caumasee - Visit Lake Cauma in Flims. Lake Cauma (Romansh Lag la Cauma, sometimes Lai da Cauma) is located in the uninhabited southern part of the municipality of Flims in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It lies at an altitude of around 997 meters with a seasonally fluctuating level and is accessible by a specially built funicular. The water of Lake Cauma is a striking turquoise green. Notably, the westernmost bay of the lake does not freeze over in winter, despite its elevation and location in a cold air basin; this is likely due to powerful underground springs that flow through this part of the lake. The drainage is also underground. The water level experiences significant fluctuations; in 2015, the lake rose by at least 4 meters and 30 centimeters. The lake reaches its highest level in mid to late July, coinciding with the end of the snowmelt in the surrounding mountains.
