The Flem ( [flɛm] ? / I ) is an approximately 16 kilometer long tributary of the Vorderrhein in the Surselva in the Swiss canton of Graubünden . Audio file / audio sample

course

The water collects in the Il Vonn area between the Laaxer Stöckli in the southwest and the Ofen in the northwest. From the Upper Segnasboden Plaun Segnas Sura the glacier milk of the Segnas glacier falls in a waterfall . As Ual Segnas the brook flows via Stargels and Foppa in a south-easterly direction towards Flims , where the name changes.

Before Flims, the Flem flows through the Val Stenna with the Stennaschlucht. An old promenade led from the sawmill over several bridges to the "Känzeli", a rock with a view of the river. All of these bridges were removed during the construction of the Flims bypass. Old postcards from the turn of the century to around 1930 show the river in the Stenna Gorge and designate a fall there as the Segnes Waterfall and the gorge as the Segnes Gorge. After the gorge, the Flem divides the Flims-Dorf and Flims-Waldhaus parts.

The river flows east near Flims. After the settlement area, it continues to flow in the rubble of the Flims landslide near Marcau before it reaches the adjacent rock halfway to the Crestasee and forms the Felsbach gorge . Shortly before the Trin Mulin plain , it picks up the draining water of the Cresta Lake on the right, then turns south and is dammed by a small reservoir at the Pintrun power station . After the deeply cut ravine Val Pintrun , the confluence with the Vorderrhein is found in an uninhabited and previously inaccessible area.

New development "Trutg dil Flem"

In May 2011, the voters of the municipality of Flims narrowly agreed to the new connection trutg-dil-flem (Path of the Flem). To complement the network of hiking trails, a path has been created to follow the river from the lower Segnas floor to the nearby village. To this end, seven new bridges were built that were designed by Jürg Conzett . A book describes the path in pictures and words. Until April 2014 the museum in Flims, the Yellow House , showed an exhibition on the construction of the new bridges.
