Description
The mineral water route «tras il god» goes through the forest up to San Jon. The circular route starts in front of the guest information center in Scuol and leads over the Gurlaina Bridge and then about 250 meters in altitude up to the San Jon riding stable. After a short break, it goes up a few more meters to the Funtana Cotschna fountain, where thirst can be quenched with lightly mineralized water. Looking over the brook behind it toward a rock face, the waterfall of the mineral spring can be seen. Now it goes back a bit and then right through light forest. There you meet the San Jon Dadaint spring, which consists of several small ponds and forms a stair-like tufa spring downhill. Past there it goes to the lowest point of the hike – to the Lischana spring. The magnesium-rich spring is very popular with athletes and flows on demand. The path leads over the Inn river up to the PostAuto stop «Scuol, Serras», where the street is taken to the right. After about 400 meters, one sees on the left over the meadow near a farm the huge tufa spring of the Runà spring. The path leads back to the stop and from there through the old village part Scuol Sot. At the fountains Plaz and Bügl Grond, the Sotsass and Chalzina/Tulai mineral waters can be tasted. Finally, the circular route ends again at the starting point.
The mineral water route «tras il god» can also be well managed with a mountain bike (easier ascent on the road to San Jon). However, the section to the San Jon Dadaint spring is excluded. Visitors are asked to leave their bike and reach the spring on foot and continue the tour on the lower path. Thank you for your consideration.
