Turtmann to Leuk

9th April 2021

An interesting walk along both sides of the Rhone valley
ending up at a collection of bones!

Leuk Beinhaus - over 20000 skulls


Returning to Turtmann by train, we walked up the hillside above the old village of Turtmann, passing by protected wild flowers and a chapel on the hill. From here we crossed the rhone valley, avoiding golf courses and gravel works, and continued past vineyards and satellite ground stations to Leuk, an old town with castle, church and crypt full of skulls. The Bishop's castle was modernized by adding a glass cupola to one of the medieval towers!
