| Maienfeld, in Switzerland’s Graubunden region, has welcomed guests from all over the world for many years. Though Maienfelder wine is as well-known as the international horse-races, Maienfeld’s main claim to fame is as Heidi Country. This is where Johanna Spyri (1827-1901) was inspired to write her famous story of Heidi and Peter. A Heidi Path leads to the Heidi Village at Oberrofels and to Heidi Alp on Ochsenberg altitude 1111 m. The Heidi Fountain on the road to St. Luzisteig was inaugurated in 1953 to commemorate the author. The original Heidi House is now a small museum. However, there’s much more to Maienfeld than Heidi - the historic town is extremely attractive and its surroundings breathtakingly beautiful.
