Station 3 des Hans Brühlmann Rundweges

Vättis, Gruschahalde

Description

Rear Büel with a view of Gruscha and the Roman finds

The Roman coin find on Gams, the hill above today's village, is a clear sign of the presence of the Romans at Vättis. The site is also an indication of the Roman settlement of the area far above today's village. In Roman times, the place of today's village was certainly still a floodplain of the Tamina from the Calfeisental and the Görbsbach from the Kunkelstal, therefore probably largely uninhabitable. The main difficulty for the Roman road in the direction of Kunkelspass was to find a suitable crossing over the Tamina at Vättis. Presumably, the Roman bridge stood at the entrance to the Calfeisen valley. Therefore, a Roman estate Vättis in the area of Gams or Gruscha is to be assumed. As a central and safe place, the Gruscha at the entrance to the Calfeisen Valley is obvious.
