Forest Path Innerferrera

Through meadows and a mystical forest, you reach the highlight of the hike, the suspension bridge, which is 70 m long and spans the Ragn da Ferrera. Afterwards, the route returns to the starting point in Innerferrera via the Old Averser Road, or rather the Walserweg. The hike can be combined with a visit to the mining museum and/or the Alpenrose restaurant at the village square of Innerferrera. About the history of Ferrera: The municipality of Ferrera was first mentioned in a document in 1204. The Romance name (Calantgil) can be derived from the Latin word "caniculus," which means tunnel or shaft. This name also indicates the importance of the extraction of iron, copper, lead, and silver. Around 1920, manganese was last mined at Starlera. Since then, mining of mineral resources has been at a standstill; the entrances to the mining tunnels and shafts can still be seen today. The Erzminen am Hinterrhein association ensures with the mining museum in Innerferrera and various mining excursions that these history/stories are preserved.
