- Rabius
Rabius is the largest village in the municipality of
Sumvitg ,Graubünden ,Switzerland . It has a station on theDisentis -Reichenau line of the Rhätische Bahn railway. The name is mentioned for the first time in a 1203 document.Two rivers flow past the village which could be for the inhabitants occasionally quite "rabiat" (in the local dialect), therefore giving the name "Rabius" to the village.
In former days, on these streams watermills were built (reflected in the Rabius coat of arms). The mills provided power for amongst other places, the local carpenter's workshop.
Rabius has 574 inhabitants, most of whom are occupied in trade and handicraft. Rabius is not particularly a tourism centre.
