Attraction Engadin Samnaun Val Müstair
Execution site Fuorcha
Description
It is located between the municipalities of Susch and Zernez on the right-hand side of the River Inn. The fuorcha consists of two massive stone pillars, each 4 metres high and 1.5 metres in diameter at the base, which stand about 6 metres apart on a small plain inserted into the slope towards the Inn. The wooden beam on which the condemned delinquents were hanged was fixed to the pillars. To the east of it stretches the God da Güstizia, the «courthouse forest», where an idyllic fireplace invites you to barbecue.
