Description

We begin our hike very leisurely in Cumpadials, first on a forest road through the alder forest along the Rhine, later on a paved side road to the year-round inhabited village Cavardiras. Soon we see the silhouette of the pilgrimage church from the 17th century, dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua. On a forest road, we continue through shady woods and past alpine huts.


Later, a hiking trail leads us through the two ravines Dargun da Pardomat and Dargun da Falens. Then we are there! Idyllically nestled in meadows and forests, the turquoise lake lies before us. We unpack the wool blanket and settle in for a longer stay, with swimwear and enough provisions. Following the motto: “Listen, how you hear nothing” (Karl Valentin), we absorb the silence within us. With binoculars, we scan the slopes above the lake, as this is deer and roe deer territory.


On the way back down to the valley, we descend to the village of Laus. Here, time seems to have stood still, and we admire the neat houses and well-kept gardens before we set off for the last part of the hike.


The path is diverted in the area of Dargun da Pardomat.

Hidden Gem

If you drive by car to Laus, the lake is reachable in one hour of hiking.

Safety Note

Fairtrail: Hikers share the path with mountain bikers.

Directions

From the parking lot at the Rhine, head west towards Pardomat-Dadens, through a floodplain forest to Pardomat Dado. Continue on a paved side road to Cavardiras. From here, ascend on a forest road. Pay attention to the detour junction. A hiking trail leads over the two ravines "Darguns" to the lake. At the eastern end of the lake, a direct hiking trail leads down to Laus, where we hike back partly on a lightly trafficked road and partly on a hiking trail to Cumpadials.
