Crap Furò Natural Forest
In the natural forest reserve around the Crap Furò near Surava, different types of forest grow on 120 hectares. Spruces alternate with mountain and forest pines. In addition to a lot of dead and old wood, it also has plenty of young growth.
Description
Different slope orientations and rock subsoils, as well as past human interventions, have led to this diversity. More than 100 years ago, large-scale clear-cutting was carried out for the iron smelting and lime kiln in the Albula Valley. Later, the colonization pioneers of Scots and mountain pines were able to gain a foothold there. No trees have been felled since 2008. The Crap Furò is located just a few metres from the geographical centre of Graubünden. The rock needle is 60 meters high, 50 meters long and only 5 meters wide. Crap Furò is Romanesque and means "holey rock".
