Description

The path leads us first through hay meadows and pastures to the Mises Grond. Above the Mises we reach a reforested forest. In zigzag we regularly gain altitude until we reach the timberline at Pegn dil Capi.

On the way we walk through blooming alpine roses, heather, blueberry and cranberry bushes, depending on the season. As soon as we reach the plain of the alp Caschlé, we already see the big flat stone in the middle of the meadow. A sign tells us that we are in the right place. The legend tells that the stone was transported on a spider's thread from the opposite alp Culmatsch to Caschlé and that the witches danced on it. According to the motto "fun must be" we also dare a short dance and hope that nobody films us.

With the descent we first start on the same way we came. At Stavel Caschlé we keep to the right so that we can descend via Foppa Verda through Uaul Flurin. Via Zarcuns and Camischolas our tour ends again at Sedrun train station.

Geheimtipp

Blueberry lovers should take a bowl with them to collect.

Sicherheitshinweis

The descent variant to Val Milar is closed, as the path is no longer maintained.

The descent variant through the Val Strem is closed until further notice due to a rockslide

Ausrüstung

Hiking poles, food from the backpack

Directions

At the train station we follow the signposts towards Rueras. At Camischolas Sura we branch off uphill, cross the railway line and follow the road to its end. Here we find the turnoff to Mises Grond. A little above the Mises is a bench where we branch off to the left. Now the hiking trail leads us up to the Alp Caschlé to the Hexenplatte. Then take the same path back to the junction for Rueras. In the Uaul Flurin we meet again at a junction to Sedrun.
