Description
The hike takes you from Ilanz up to the culturally important Ruschein. The church hill was already a place of worship and sacrifice in pagan times. The old connecting road leads to Ladir. Above Ladir, a forest path leads towards Siat.
Ladir, Ruschein and Siat are located high above the valley floor and offer a view of the surrounding mountains.
On this first stage of the Via Glion , newly designed information boards invite you to pause and discover. Each of the thirteen panels provides interesting facts about history, culture or local peculiarities. Anna Catrina, Ilanz's fictitious daughter, accompanies the hikers with charming stories in German and Romansh. QR codes can be used to activate audio contributions that provide entertaining information about places, buildings and people along the route. Two panorama boards complete the experience with impressive views and explanations of the surrounding landscape.
