Description

On the one hand you will learn something about its history, on the other hand a general part deals with the history of the Flerdner water supply. It can be assumed that Flerden was only the second Graubünden municipality after Chur to realize the construction of a water supply. That was in 1880.
The Brunnenweg was created on the initiative of the municipality of Flerden. The contents have been researched and processed by the former municipal chancellor Emil Hänni.

Hiking time: approx. 45 minutes. The free brochure (Walkway-MiniGuide) can be found at the start of the walk at the Flerden community center (in front of the garbage house). The trail includes nine stops with themed history.

Possible hiking trail closures/restrictions or diversions can be found here.

In addition, all kinds of agricultural equipment were washed in the additional washing trough.
