The Fedacla is a 10.5 kilometer long tributary of Lake Silvaplana in the Swiss canton of Graubünden . The Fedacla, also called Fexbach, flows through the Fex valley, a side valley of the Upper Engadine , and drains an area of ​​around 34 square kilometers.

course

The Fedacla is created by several spring streams that arise at the Vadret da Fex , Vadret dal Güx and Vadret dal Tremoggia glaciers . The river flows through the valley in a north-westerly direction to the settlement of Platta , where it curves north-east. It now forms a short and narrow, wooded valley that is only separated from Lake Sils by a mountain range . A dam and an overflow tunnel into Lake Sils have been providing flood protection in this valley since 1972. At Maria , the river enters the Upper Engadin and flows parallel to the Inn into the Silvaplana Lake, where it forms a natural delta that is constantly changing due to new debris.
