Beschreibung

From the Walser settlement Saint Martin, follow the sign to the world-record fir (Stockboden). On the marked hiking trail, go down to Schwamm, from where an alpine road leads up to Malanseralp. From Malanseralp, return on the alpine road back to St. Martin.

Church St. Martin (cult site): The little chapel with eternal light was built in 1312, named after Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours, who was popular among the Walser. The eternal light had to be extinguished in 1652 because the population was forced by drastic climate change to move to lower areas. Strong energies prevail in the church, but not only positive ones.

Chilchlikopf (power place/cult site): Notice the special atmosphere that embraces you when entering the small chapel. Do you feel comfortable? Would you like to stay? You are on a cult site with strong energies, which are not only positive.
World-record fir (healing place): You are under the canopy of the thickest Norway spruce in the world, its diameter today a proud 1.84 meters. Hold it or lean your back against the trunk. The energies you absorb are very intense and both constructive and deconstructive.

Malanseralp (healing place): Malanseralp, with its wonderful view, like the whole valley, is associated with heightened energies that are, however, not balanced. From an energetic point of view, this is a healing place. From Malanseralp, you also enjoy a unique view into the UNESCO World Heritage Tektonikarena Sardona area.

Sardonaalp with Hexenbühl (power place/cult site): Not far from the Sardonahütte, a little west, is the old cult hill "Hexenbühl"; north of it, the field name "Tüfelsruns" stands out. There is quite a lot of witchcraft and devilry here, with legends telling of some eerie events that supposedly happened. Both on Sardonaalp and on Hexenbühl, strong energies prevail; in the case of Hexenbühl, these have cult site qualities.
