When we left Trin for Chur, we stopped at a self service blumen (flower) garden on the east end of the villge. You can cut your own flowers and leave your payment in a locked kasse (cash box).
Sign with cash box
The sign says
"Flowers to yourself cut

In the cities, we can sometimes find a quiet
place for a picnic lunch.
We noticed a table in the Ratisches
museum courtyard so had our lunch there.
Miscellaneous Altstadt (old city) views
Some on the back streets totally free of people
It's a fire plug
Old home on a narrow street
PLaza with sidewalk cafes
(there are several throughout the old city)

Looking at the map, we found a country road
5 miles north of Chur leading up the mountain side
to the small village of Says.
The wavy road on the map indicated lots of
switch backs which proved to be true with
high views over the valley.
View of Says
The road continued beyond Says even though
it was not marked on the map. Even here, if you
wanted to park and walk, you had to buy a parking
ticket at a pay station by Says.

The road started to peter out.

Time to turn around
