In the Binntal nature park, the field names of the municipalities of Grengiols and Binn are very well documented thanks to private initiatives.
On the field name trail from Binn through the Twingi Gorge, over the Roman bridge to Hockmatta and from there via Hellera up to Wase, we present a small selection of field names. The origin of many field names is clear. Other names can no longer be traced and leave room for different interpretations. Audio files and small information boards provide interesting explanations of the respective field names.
The signs for the individual field names are removed in winter.
This deep gorge used to be a difficult passage in the trade route over the Albrun pass to Italy. Today the old track with small natural rock tunnels and rare flowers offers a spectacular landscape experience.
The attractively situated hamlet of Hockmatta was first mentioned in 1393 and stands on a once-busy track from Grengiols to Albrun. The few residential and utility buildings encompass an square-like interior, and there is a chapel on its west edge.
In the Zauberwald auf dem Wasen (lit: magic forest on the wet meadow) there is a great adventure trail with around 20 stations for children aged 3 to 10 to play There is also a grill place, several barbecue areas and a fountain.
After the hike, relax in the “Twingi-Stubji” and enjoy the view of the lake with a glass of wine and a small meal.
Tremendous, this gorge: How do plants cope with the steep rock sides, the plunging water, the unstable avalanche runnels? Find out which plants can live here on this pleasant walk.
The road through the Twingi is one of the historically important traffic routes in Switzerland. On a gentle walk we discover witnesses of former road construction and learn exciting stories about trading with Italy.
The wild Twingi Gorge has cut into vertically placed slate rocks - so-called "Bündnerschiefer". You will get to know these rocks with their minerals and their formation. In addition, we also encounter some erratic blocks.
