Description

This stage brings us back to the valley floor of the Lower Engadine, where after the sun terraces of the previous day we will briefly get to know the dark side of the valley, meant in the literal sense. Along the Inn we hike to Zernez. Since pilgrims are allowed to think about a lot, here is a suggestion for this stage: the Inn, here still young, slim, lively and dynamic, still has its long life journey ahead of it. It will gradually become calmer and wider, and will later unite with the Danube in Passau, whereby both will find their peace together at the end of their journey in the Black Sea ...
The stage town of Zernez is a hub for travellers in this area. Here the axes come from the Upper Engadine together with those from South Tyrol via the Ofen Pass as well as down the valley with the Lower Engadine, the Flüela northwards to the rest of Switzerland and exit Lower Engadine with the Tyrol. A stage location to meet people from different areas, and then probably travel on in different directions.

Geheimtipp

The motorized traffic (incl. Postbus) from Müstair to Zernez leads on a shorter route over the Ofenpass, but we would have missed a lot.
