Unsichtbare Wasserwege

We hike on the deposits of the Flims landslide, the largest landslide event in the Alps. Unique waterways have formed in the debris of the landslide. The only glimpses of the underground water network are the mysterious lakes hidden in the forest and glittering turquoise.
From our meeting point we walk leisurely to Lag Prau Pulté, cross the bypass road of Flims and continue to Lag Prau Tuleritg and Lag la Cauma. Inputs await at various stops: How do we determine the age of the Flims landslide? How fast does groundwater flow? Why is the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Tectonic Arena Sardona" exceptional?
