Maienfeld
Maienfeld is a village situated at 504 m above sea level in Heidiland. It is surrounded by vineyards and lies at the foot of the mountain Falknis, which reaches 2560 m above sea level. In Maienfeld there is the Heidi village, which preserves the history and the tradition of the Heidi myth. The Heidi stories were set here and the houses in the Heidi village are furnished as they were in 1880. As an important part of the Graubünden dominion and the local winegrowing, Maienfeld is very often visited by international guests. Also worth seeing are the old town with the old town wall, the Amandus church and the castles Salenegg and Brandis. The oak forest above the settlement of Bovel is a natural monument.

From travellers like you
“Awesome! Fantastic tour, top-notch tasting, thanks Markus!”
“The six of us were picked up punctually by our guide Rolf at the station, and enjoyed a pleasant walk through the vineyards near Maienfeld. We gained lots of fascinating insights into the world of winemakers. Afterwards, we visited Lampert's winery where we learned all about the production of various wines and got to taste four different ones. Cheese and salami were served alongside. Overall, we had a very enjoyable and educational afternoon. It was a lot of fun!”
