Historical Site Viamala
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.
