Description
On a pretty, stone-lined path we walk to the church Sontga Gada, which dates back to the 12th century. Saint Agatha is the patron saint of hikers and bridges and a visit to the church was the last opportunity for muleteers and traders to ask for an accident-free passage. Today, we can cross the gorge to Mompé Medel with ease thanks to the new suspension bridge. Between the houses and partly on stairs, we then descend on the southern side to the road, which has only connected the village with Lukmanierstrasse by means of a tunnel since 1971. On the old access road we reach the turn-off to Caschlatsch. Very little remains of the former castle and watchtower. Instead, the accessible wooden tower now rises on a hilltop with a wonderful view of the Disentis Monastery. The way back takes us along the Rhine to the historic bridge in Cuflons and after a short climb we reach Sontga Gada again.
Access to the wooden tower is only possible during the snow-free period.
Directions
From the Fontauna Centre in a southerly direction, always following the black signs to the Sontga Gada chapel, over the suspension bridge and to Mompé Medel. After the chapel, turn left between the houses on a stairway down to the road. Before the tunnel, turn left, then turn right at the signposting along the edge of the forest, later on a narrow forest path to the wooden tower. Return to the road on the same path. Down to the Rhine and turn left to the left. Along the Rhine to Cuflons, over the bridge and in two hairpin bends up to Sontag Gada.
