Description
As a result of developments and land improvements, the Gadenstätte (Aclas) are losing importance and the buildings are falling into decay. The shrub landscape with dry meadows still offers great biodiversity, and the fairy-tale oak forests on blocky Verrucano rock are botanical highlights. The huge spruces along the hiking trail are also a wonder.
From Brigels, the trail passes Escherstein/Crest la Crusch down to the Aclas of Bacuns. There is an off-path detour to the unique oak forest of Bacuns. Back on the hiking trail, you descend to Run and at a sharp angle to the Aclas of Zaniz. Shortly thereafter, a initially steep path branches off from the land improvement road into the Uaul Zaniz. This path is well marked, gradually flattens, and leads over Carneglias to Dardin/Mulin. Now follow the Senda Sursilvana back to Brigels.
