Carschenna petroglyphs
Description
The Carschenna rock paintings were discovered by chance by a forestry official in 1965 and subsequently uncovered by the Rhaetian Museum. Countless signs and subjects are engraved on just under a dozen rock slabs spread over a distance of around 400 metres. Comparisons with rock carvings, some of which can be dated, suggest a date in the Bronze Age and Ice Age, around 1800 BC.
Accessibility
The petroglyphs are open to the public. Viewing possible at any time. Access only possible with authorisation from the municipality of Sils i.D. or by taxi. Permits can be obtained from the municipal office and at the Post Inn in Sils i.D.
Opening hours
The site is open to the public and a visit is possible at any time. As one of the most important archaeological monuments in Graubünden, the site is under special protection. Visitors are asked to treat the images and the surrounding nature with respect to ensure the preservation of this cultural asset for future generations.
