Discover Landquart Fabriken

These highlights differ considerably—from the settlement’s layout to an easy walk and a stage with a specified distance and elevation gain.

Architectural history in Landquart Fabriken

Landquart Fabriken is one of the two parts of Landquart’s townscape. Its architectural and historical qualities include a settlement history that can be traced over more than 100 years. The historical perspective therefore encompasses both individual buildings and the development of the townscape.

Landquart Fabriken is considered an example of a factory settlement with several small residential quarters; the founding of the factory is regarded as having a certain significance. The semicircular locomotive depot is singled out as an outstanding individual structure. Two distinct aspects therefore stand side by side: the settlement layout with its small residential quarters and a striking building.

The workshops of the Rhaetian Railway also offer a connection to technology. Visitor information from the Rhaetian Railway available in August 2026 listed guided group tours of the workshops in Landquart as a bookable visitor experience. The focus is on modern technology, precision, and operations. If you plan a tour, check current availability.

Rail connections in Landquart

At the Landquart transport hub, all trains of the Rhaetian Railway and Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) stop, allowing passengers to get on, get off, or change trains. From Landquart, the Rhaetian Railway serves the Prättigau and Engadin regions. Timetables may change, so check connections for your travel date.

All parts of the municipality are also well connected by train or bus. This adds a municipality-wide perspective to the transport hub’s regional role.

The Planet Trail and walks along the Rhine

The Planet Trail runs for around 2.6 kilometres within the municipality of Landquart, from Bawald above Igis to Ganda. Information boards mark and describe Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Information about the planets gives the trail its own theme and also makes it easy to identify the route by its endpoints.

Another walking route, described as easy, starts at Landquart railway station and follows the Rhine. The loop returns to the station via the Tardis Bridge. Here, the focus is on the easy nature of the walk and its circular route.

The SwitzerlandMobility Rhein Skate 1 route follows a different format: its third stage runs 32 kilometres from Landquart to Buchs, with 30 metres of elevation gain. Comparing it with the walking route highlights different planning details: the loop is described by its route and easy nature, while the stage is described by its distance, elevation gain, and destination.

Shopping in the open air

Landquart Fashion Outlet offers open-air shopping in a village centre. Its selection includes more than 170 international fashion and lifestyle brands.
