Huge, flat village fountain in the middle of the old, pretty village center of Valendas. Right next to it is the upscale Gasthaus am Brunnen (15 points Gault Millau).

The Dreibündenstein in Graubünden is a hill at an altitude of 2,156 metres south of the city of Chur and the Furggabüel mountain, which is at an altitude of 2,174 metres. They are only separated by a 15-metre-high saddle and a distance of 500 metres. The point is not a mountain peak, but a historical place. It was the only triple border point of the former Free State of the Three Leagues. The original stone from 1722 is on display in the Rätschen Museum Chur. The replacement stone from 1915 bears the three coats of arms of the Three Leagues. The Three Leagues included the Grey League with the judicial community of Rhäzüns, the Church League of Ortenstein Castle and the Ten Courts League of Churwalden. In winter, a chairlift goes to Furggabüel from Hühnerköpfle, which is at an altitude of 1,947 metres above the Spundissee.

The wooden fountain, the landmark of Valendas, was built in 1760. At the beginning of the 20th century, residents still fetched their water and washed their clothes here. To this day, guarded by a water nymph, it remains the heart of the village.
