Description

The flood of 1987 did not cause any damage, but for the first time since the dam construction from 1956 to 1958, there were concerns that an extraordinary flood could exceed the capacity of the riverbed. Subsequent investigations by ETH Zurich showed that there is a potential hazard. By a large majority, the voters of Samedan decided on 15.6.2000 for the ecologically optimal relocation of the Flaz with renaturation of the Inn. The goal of this gigantic project was to create a new riverbed for the Flaz starting at Punt Muragl and to have the mouth into the Inn at Gravatscha. This eliminates the risk of flooding of the settlement areas at the old mouth.


The circular walk can be started from various locations: Sper l’En, Promulins Arena, Gravatscha, and Punt Muragl. The QR codes to access the digital SmarTrail are attached to the information boards.
