Rhine-Reuss-Rhôneweg: Gampel - Salgesch

After an hour along the Rhône, cross the Rhône plain to Turtmann. People with eye problems used to make pilgrimages to the Kastler above the village. After crossing the Rhône again at the Feschel Gorge, we walk along the old church path to Leuk. The first thing we come across is the baroque Sabastian's Chapel at the Plague Cemetery. The nobles of Leuk had already converted to the Reformed faith, but the powerful and wealthy Michael Mageran wanted to become governor and converted to the old faith – the Reformation in Valais had died out after a hundred years back and forth. In the ossuary of St. Stephen's Church, incorruptible death makes fun of the dissolute clergy and nobility in two murals, examined by over 20,000 mute skulls. Crossing the old Dala bridge and through beautiful vineyards, we arrive at the Rebarena of Salgesch, where the Knights of St. John ran the central hospice for pilgrims in Valais for four hundred years.
