Churches and chapels hike Suraua, Lumnezia

At the beginning of the hike is the small chapel Sogn Carlo Boromeo in Uors. The interior of the chapel was painted in 1616 by Hans Jakob Greutter.

After the visit, the hike begins. You go down to the Valserrhein via the old road, then follow a small ascent up to the castle hill with the church Sogn Luregn. The castle is gone, only the tower remains and has served as a church tower since 1515. This church also contains paintings by Hans Jakob Greutter. The rock outcrop on which the church Sogn Luregn stands is a powerful place, especially in the church, powerful energies can be felt.

Then continue to Surcasti to the small chapel Sogn Giusep, which has already been affected by fire twice. A special feature is the glazed niche on the left choir wall with Mary with the Child dressed in valuable brocade.

Over the arch bridge you return to Uors and follow the main road towards Vals. After about 200 m, the hiking trail branches off to the left at the small saint's niche in the direction of Tersnaus. In Tersnaus, the hometown of mountain bike world champion Nino Schurter, stands the church Sogn Balun e Sontga Madleina. In the church you will find works by the reformed itinerant painter Hans Ardüser as well as the catholic painters Hans Jakob Greutter and Fridolin Eggert.

At the upper edge of the village, a field path leads to the 66-meter-long and 34-meter-high suspension bridge over the Val da Tersnaus. After the bridge, follow the hiking trail up to Runs and further to Camuns to the church Sogn Gion. From the church Sogn Gion there is a magnificent view over the whole Lumnezia. The ceiling painting in the middle of the nave vault of the church comes from Johann Jakob Rieg from the year 1696.

You return in the same way towards the suspension bridge. Shortly before the bridge, the hiking trail branches down to Uors.
