Beschreibung

In the dry Val Müstair, meadows and fields have been artificially irrigated for centuries to secure and increase yield. Water was often channeled over long distances from tributaries or even from the main river Rom to the agricultural areas.


As part of comprehensive agricultural land improvement, a network of modern irrigation systems was installed in Val Müstair, and the Auals gradually lost importance. With the discontinuation of the use of the Auals, the old craft and knowledge also faded from memory. Today, the value and functions of the Auals are mainly cultural-historical. But biodiversity also benefits from the still water-carrying Auals. Thanks to an initiative by the Swiss Landscape Foundation, the municipality of Val Müstair, and the nature park, selected Auals have been renovated for several years and the remains of former Auals in the terrain made visible again.

Wegbeschreibung

At the first crossroads, turn right up the gravel path to "Aua Naira." Here the path forks again, and follow the hiking trail to the right towards "Döss da las Levras." After a short section on the Umbrailstraße, leave it quickly again and follow the hiking trail on the right side towards "Döss da las Levras / Muranzina." After about 300 m, the hiking trail begins along the Aual Claif and goes almost to its intake at the Muranzina. The water of the Aual Claif was formerly used to irrigate most of the meadows of Sta. Maria. After the wooden bridge over the Muranzina, you can descend again to the right back towards Sta. Maria.
