Carschenna petroglyphs

Felszeichnungen Carschenna

The oldest evidence of human culture in the Viamala realm of experience.

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.
