Description

The "Bella Vista" tour starts with a highlight: Immediately after the parking lot of the Brigels cable cars you drive along the idyllic Brigelser See. Depending on the weather and season, its water shines in a bright turquoise or deep blue. The trail continues via alpine meadows in the direction of Waltensburg to the Curtginet valley station. Along the main road you roll into the upper village Waltensburg where you have to follow the signs towards Brigels again. Soon two more highlights of this family-friendly gravel circuit are reached: the fireplace Uaul Pign and the cave castle Grotta (Kropfenstein-Casti Grotta). In a slight ascent you cycle on the dirt road to the viewpoint Crest la Crusch. In the center of the small platform stands the Escherstein. It commemorates the builders and the completion of the connecting road from Waltensburg to Brigels, completed in 1870. From here you can also see the whole Surselva. From Ilanz to Disentis.
