Places of magic - Uors/Surcasti

The hike begins at the Sogn Carli chapel in Uors. Take the shortcut to the old connecting path between Uors and Surcasti. Beautiful stone walls with small round arches give the old path an idyllic touch. It leads you to the clear Valser Rhine (24) and on to the free-flowing Glogn and then winds its way up to the church of Sogn Luregn (25). From there it continues to Surcasti. In the middle of the village, the road branches off to the right to Panoramamenhir (26) on the upper edge of the village. This powerful central stone of a large stone circle has very high energy levels. From here, walk back through the village and further south into the open countryside, along the field road to the edge of the forest. A narrow path leads you through the thicket down the steep slope to the Crap dalla Gneida (27), the legendary Devil's Stone in the middle of the alder forest. The path is steep and a little arduous and only suitable for sure-footed hikers. Take the same route back to the village.

24 on the gently flowing Valser Rhine is an inviting spot with a barbecue area. It is a place with uplifting powers to linger and recharge your batteries. You can cleanse your aura under the trees by the river.

25 The Sogn Luregn church with its former fortress tower stands on the rocky outcrop, a powerful place of strength and healing. Powerful energies can also be felt in the church.

26 According to research, the Panoramamenhir is the center stone of a large, supra-regional stone circle. The energetic mutations have very high values. It is a powerful and mighty place, suitable for recharging your batteries.

27 The Crap dalla Gneida is a legendary devil's stone in the middle of the alder forest. All the shells, cracks and notches on the large boulder indicate an astronomical significance.

In collaboration with Lumnezia Turissem, the Swiss Places of Power research center has tested 66 special places in the region and documented them in 12 hiking routes. Information on the routes can be found in the book “Places of Magic”, which is available from the Vella information office.
