Beschreibung

From the Walser settlement of Sankt Martin, we follow the signpost to the world record fir tree (Stockboden). Follow the signposted hiking trail down to Schwamm, from where an alpine road leads up to Malanseralp. From Malanseralp, follow the alpine road back to St. Martin.

Church of St. Martin (place of worship): the little church with perpetual light was built in 1312 and patron saint was St. Martin, Bishop of Tours, who was popular with the people of Wals. As early as 1652, the eternal light has to be extinguished again as the population is forced to move to lower altitudes due to drastic climate change. Strong energies prevail in the church, but not only uplifting ones.

Chilchlikopf (power place/cult place): Pay attention to the special atmosphere that surrounds you after entering the small chapel. Do you feel at ease? Would you like to linger? You are in a cult place of high energies, but not only uplifting ones.
World record fir tree (healing place): You are under the canopy of the world's thickest red fir tree, which today has a proud diameter of 1.84 meters. Hold it or lean your back against the trunk. The energies you absorb are very intense and are both uplifting and deconstructive.

Malanseralp (healing place): The Malanseralp with its wonderful view, like the entire valley, awaits you with heightened energies, which are not, however, balanced. From an energetic point of view, this is a healing place. From the Malanseralp you can also enjoy a unique view of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tectonic Arena Sardona.

Sardonaalp with Hexenbühl (power place/cult place): Not far from the Sardona hut, slightly to the west, is the old cult hill "Hexenbühl", to the north of which the field name "Tüfelsruns" stands out. There is a lot of witchcraft and devilry here, and legends tell of many gruesome events that are said to have taken place here. Both the Sardonaalp and the Hexenbühl are home to powerful energies, which in the case of the Hexenbühl have cult place qualities.
