Click image or here to view larger version Rhine The Rhine is called that name from the confluence of the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein, near Reichenau in the canton of Graubünden. The initial source of the river is known to all people and pupils in Graubünden and Switzerland as lying north of Lai da Tuma (Tomasee) on Vorderrhein, although some people nowadays do claim that its southern tributary Rein da Medel is actually longer before its confluence with the Vorderrhein near Disentis. The Vorderrhein, or Anterior Rhine, springs from Lai da Tuma (Tomasee), near the Oberalp Pass and passes the impressive Ruinaulta formed by the largest visible rock slide in the alps, the Flims Rockslide. A multiday trekking route is signposted along the young Rhine called Senda Sursilvana. The Hinterrhein, or Posterior Rhine, starts from the Paradies Glacier, near the Rheinwaldhorn. One of its tributaries, the Reno di Lei, is draining the Valle di Lei on politically italian territory. Buyer pays shipping at cost.
