The book chronicles the author's experiences and observations during his travels in the Grisons region of Switzerland, as part of a larger series on Switzerland. Zincke aims to provide a detailed and vivid portrayal of the landscapes, cultural elements, and social conditions he encounters while exploring this elevated region.
