Description

On one hand, you will learn something about their history; on the other, a general section deals with the origin of the Flerden water supply. It is assumed that Flerden was, after Chur, the second Graubünden municipality to realize the construction of a water supply. That was in 1880.
The fountain route was created on the initiative of the municipality of Flerden. The content was researched and compiled by the former municipal clerk Emil Hänni.

Hiking time: approx. 45 minutes. The free brochure (walking route mini-guide) can be found at the start of the walking route at the Flerden community house (in front of the Kehricht building). The route includes nine stations with topic-related history.

Friedhof

This fountain on the inside of the cemetery wall was built in memory of Marx Heinz, 1881 – 1937. Marx Heinz was a citizen of Flerden and a teacher in Grosshöchstätten (BE). After the death of Marx Heinz, his Witfrau Dora Heinz had worked in Flerden as Schulgotta. At Christmas, each Flerdner student received a chocolate bear and the school a book from which the teacher could read aloud.

Caschneras

The fountain of Caschneras was built in 1934. Like most other village wells, it also performed various tasks. It was a cattle trough and served the village women at the big "Buchata", the washing day on which the bed linen was cleaned in spring and autumn. In addition, all kinds of agricultural equipment were washed in the additional washing trough.
