The '''Valser Rhine''' ({{lang-de|Valser Rhein}}) is a source of the river [[Rhine]] in the [[Swiss]] canton of [[Graubünden]]. The river originates from the [[Länta Glacier]] and the [[Grauhorn Glacier]] at the northern foot of the [[Rheinwaldhorn]] and initially flows through the valley [[Länta (valley)|Länta]] before it flows into the [[Zervreilasee]] reservoir. Before the construction of the reservoir, the brooks Hornbach and Canalbach would flow into Valser Rhine from the right at the village of [[Zervreila]]. Today, the brooks flow into the reservoir, as does the Finsterbach, also from the right. |
