Adventure trail "Minas da Gulatsch"

In addition to the themed trail with interactive stations to try out, solve puzzles, and play, a cozy rest area invites you to stay and the caves offer insight into a fascinating, often hidden world.

Following the tracks of ore miners and protected bats, old times come alive and special nature experiences are conveyed. In the intact and secluded landscape, nature should be experienced playfully.

The project "Minas da Gulatsch" was initiated by the association Rueun Viva in cooperation with the municipality of Ilanz/Glion and Surselva Tourismus AG. In collaboration with WWF Graubünden, the bat protection officer of the canton of Graubünden, and the Friends of Mining Graubünden.

Guided tours are also offered for groups, school classes, and guests interested in learning more about mining and the socio-cultural background of the region. Interested? Contact ilanz@surselva.info.

From the bus stop "Rueun, Minas da Gulatsch" to the beginning of the themed hike, there is a steadily ascending gravel path. At the parking lot for a maximum of three cars, you will find a compost toilet and the first information boards about Minas da Gulatsch. Take your time and read the information carefully; it pays off. For children, there is much new to discover and a playful immersion into the Romansh language.

Then a narrow, partially steep natural path leads through the forest and over small clearings to the junction, which leads to the rest area or to the bat caves – including the cave of bat Rina. The path requires surefootedness and good basic fitness as some sections are challenging. The return route follows the same path as the way there.
