Val Sinestra
The Val Sinestra ( ) is a small side valley of the Lower Engadine in the Inn district of the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland .
location
The Val Sinestra flows into the main valley south of Ramosch , about 8 km down the valley from the Lower Engadine center of Scuol .
Like the Sinestra faction , the right side of the Val Sinestra belongs to the political municipality of Scuol (municipality of Sent until the end of 2014 ); the village of Vnà, on the other hand, on a terrace above the valley entrance, belongs to the municipality of Valsot (until the end of 2012 municipality of Ramosch ), as does the settlement of Griosch . The border between these two communities runs over large stretches in the valley floor, i.e. along the Brancla River. Fraktion and Hof Zuort are approx. 2.5 km north of the former Kurhaus.
Small roads lead from Sent and Vnà into the valley. A post bus runs three times a day from Scuol to the Kurhaus Val Sinestra in summer .
history
The Val Sinestra is best known for its mineral springs , which were previously used intensively for therapeutic baths and drinking cures . The locals already knew about the healing power of the mineral springs there around 1000. At the end of the 19th century the first spa house was built in Val Sinestra; in 1912 a large successor building was built. The water Aua Forta ("strong water") was touted for the relief of nervous disorders, anemia and rheumatism. In the course of the loss of attractiveness of bathing and drinking cures in the 1970s, the Kurhaus was closed; today it serves as a hotel.
The name comes from the Latin sinister ("left") and describes the left side of the valley of the Lower Engadine when viewed from Sent.
