Switzerland Day 4

This is day 4 of my vacation to Switzerland in 2018. Started my morning off with a nice simple, filling breakfast at Hotel Rätia in Filisur, Switzerland. After breakfast I took the train past Bergün to Preda where I started my hike back to Bergün. The Albula railway trail from Preda to Bergün is about 7 km long and is considered moderate difficulty. They estimate 2 hrs 15 min to hike, it took me longer due to watching the trains. This trail follows the Rhaetian Railway where you will see the Red Swiss trains weaving through the amazing landscape. Along the trail they have placed information boards talking about some of history and the amazing engineering involved in building this railway thru this valley including the spirals inside of the mountains that allow the trains to gain height before reaching the Albula tunnel near Preda. You will also see some amazing bridges throughout this valley. After reaching Bergün I stopped at a local cafe for a little bite before catching the train back to Filisur. I understand there is a nice railroad museum at the train station in Bergün and you can also continue the hike all the way back to Filisur, they claim it is another 3 hrs, I might try this next time. After arriving back in Filisur, I did not have anything else planned and the day was extra nice so made the hike down to the base of the Landwasser Viaduct. On the previous day I saw a cut-off from the main trail that takes you across a cow pasture and on to the base, so I headed out. It was a good walk and getting to the base of this old landmark was incredible. I spent a little time wondering around and watched a couple trains cross before heading back to Filisur for dinner. Filisur is a very small town and the hotel is very small, but the service is great. The hosts are very attentive, and I believe with it being very close to the train station (5 min walk) this is a good base location for the local hikes. They have an indoor dining area, but I am thinking everyone pretty much enjoys having dinner on the terrace and staring at the mountains, I know I did. Tonight, I had a couple bottles of ice-cold water and a pizza. It seems that a large group of regulars stopped in for dinner tonight. I eventually headed up to my room thinking about hikes I made today and about my next day’s journey on the "Berninia Express".
