Disentis Attractions
The holiday resort Disentis (accent on first syllable: Romansch Mustér) lies in a wide green valley on the upper reaches of the Surselva at the junction of the Upper Rhine with the Medelser Rhein or Mittelrhein (Middle Rhine). The development of summer tourism in Disentis is due mainly to the building of the former Hotel Disenterhof (1870), which as a bathing and spa hotel utilizes the waters of the St Placidus spring. This health and winter sports resort has over 150km/93mi of walks of varying difficulty, and offers the visitor attractions such as river trips, tennis, mountain excursions on the Glacier-Express, well-prepared pistes and long-distance runs for the skier.
Abbey Museum
Sacred works of art and a natural history exhibition are on display along with the history of this monastery in Disentis.
