Places of Magic - Vrin

In the Val Lumnezia you will find many powerful natural places. The hike leads you from one power spot to another. Perhaps you will feel the different qualities of energy or even find long-sought answers to certain questions.

After visiting the parish church Nossadunna e Sogn Gion Battesta with the ossuary (42) and the mortuary (43), the hike leads out of the village towards Cons. At the sawmill, you take the path down towards Plaun Tgiern to the wild Glenner (45). Passing the witches' dance place (46), you reach the old stone bridge and up to the junction to Parvalsauns. From there it is not far to the idyllic summer hamlets of Puzzatsch and Camplun. Soon you reach the chapel Sogn Giusep (48) in the hamlet of the same name. Enjoy the view of the imposing Péz Ault and its waterfall (49). Then continue along the road back to Vrin.  Throughout the hike, you repeatedly recharge with high life energy. 

42.  The first documented mention of the parish church Nossadunna e Sogn Gion Battesta dates from 1345. The existing church was built between 1689 and 1694. The builder was Antonio Berogia from Roveredo. The southern style is very pronounced in this building. The energies are almost high throughout the entire church, which is an exception. In the choir area you will find neutral power qualities, as they were used in former times for cult purposes. 

43.  The idea of a mortuary in Vrin corresponds to the old custom of saying goodbye to the deceased at home. The ritual was adopted and implemented in a new public building in a similar setting. 

44. Above the road, at the sawmill before the hamlet of Cons, is a small saint’s niche surrounded by birch trees. The springs that emerge further up from the ground have high energies and would be suitable as mineral springs. 

45. At the round arch stone bridge, the rivers Vanescha and Diesrut/Ramosa merge. It is a place full of bubbling life energy, refreshing and cleansing on a spiritual and emotional level. 

46. In Tgiern, near the football pitch, is the witches’ dance place. Before witch hunts in the Middle Ages, witches are said to have celebrated their "excursions" here and caused all sorts of mischief. 

47.  The energies in the chapel Sogn Valentin in Puzzatsch are high and neutral as they were often used for cult places. The site is probably much more historically significant than the oldest documents indicate. 

48. The free-standing chapel Sogn Giusep lies beautifully on a hill, from where you can overlook the entire valley. You are at an old cult site, which was Christianized with the pretty chapel. The energies are high and neutral and from the highest vibration level. 

49. The water, which plunges down a rock at the foot of the imposing Péz Ault, is impressive and fascinating. Did you know that you can free yourself from worries at a waterfall? 

The Kraftorte Schweiz research center, in cooperation with Lumnezia Tourism, has tested 66 special places in the region and documented them in 12 hiking routes. Information on the routes can be found in the book "Places of Magic", which is available at the Vella information office.
