--- title: "Rhine-Reuss-Rhône route: Münster - Ernen" url: "https://www.goms.ch/en/tour/rhine-reuss-rhone-route-muenster-ernen" description: "Along the Rotten (Rhône), we hike to Reckingen, where in the mid-18th century local altar carvers and painters, organ builders, and bell founders built the baroque jewel of the Goms, the Marienkirche, within two years. We stay at the elevation of the villages on the sunny slope to pilgrimage to the solitary chapel in Ritzingerfeld. Together with the distant Weisshorn (4505 m), it is the photo subject of the entire route. After Niederwald, we leave the Rhône and railway line to find the Heidenhaus in Mühlebach, where Prince-Bishop and Cardinal Matthäus Schiner was born. He was a co-signer of the papal bull of excommunication against Martin Luther, papabile, and advisor to the pope and emperor. Over the three pillars of the Erner gallows, we find our way to the most beautiful village in Valais with a magnificent village square and one of the most distinguished rural village appearances in Switzerland. The mother church (St. Georg) of the lower Goms in Ernen holds some treasures; Jacobus is seen fragmentarily on the side wall." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2752115/8096fe951cbd2f3c2fd155ec78dee49ac218b9b3f7187b6dd8d277c1eddf07bb/lawinenkegel-ritzingerfeld-kapelle-und-weisshorn-4505-m.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Goms > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Rhine-Reuss-Rhône route: Münster - Ernen ======================================== - Tip - 17.53 km long - Difficulty: medium - Condition: medium - Great panorama - Pilgrimage route Lawinenkegel Ritzingerfeld: Kapelle und Weisshorn (4505 m) Geburtshaus von Matthäus Schiner Selkingen: Heimat Altarbauers Johann Ritz Reckingen, Pfarrkirche: Abendmahl Reckingen, Pfarrkirche Reckingen, Stahlenkapelle Ernen mit Kirche und Panorama Apollonia-Kapelle in Bellwald Die drei Säulen des Erner Galgens Sebastianskapelle bei der Rottubrigge Kirche Ernen: Ruffiner Wandkonsole Biel, Pfarrkirche St. Johannes - 5:11 h - 17.53 km - 433 m - 629 m - 1,181 m - 1,417 m - Difficulty: medium - - Start: Münster by the parish church - Destination: Ernen on Dorsplatz The Rhine-Reuss-Rhône route connects the Graubünden Surselva to the vicinity of Lake Geneva.
