Oberhalbstein / Sursés

Oberhalbstein (Romansch Sursés) is the name given to the valley of the river Julia, which flows down from the Julier (Guglia) pass to join the Albula at Tiefencastel. There was already a road here in Roman times, running from the Engadine over the pass and down the successive levels of the valley. The language of the valley is Romansch.
