 | | The District of Rheinwald The District of Rheinwald comprises the upper part of the Hinterrhein valley, from the Rheinwaldhorn to the Rofla gorge, with the political communes of Hinterrhein, Medels i.Rh., Nufenen, Splügen, and Sufers. |
 | | Lower Rheinwald, from the Rofla gorge up to the top of the Splügen pass and as far as Medels, belonged to Schams and thus came under the Barons of Vaz, who held it in feudal tenure from the Bishop of Chur. |
 | | Splügen and Medels were Romansh-speaking at that time, and belonged to the parochial district of Schams. |
