Beschreibung

From the Carfil post bus stop you hike to the compensation basin of Lake Egschi. You cross the dam and reach the right side of the valley, where a romantic path leads through forest areas (part of a 365 ha large forest reserve) and gorges high above the Rabiusa to the scattered farms of Sculms. (Attention: Crossing the side ravines may be difficult after storms.) You then follow a small road towards Bonaduzerhöhe/Sil Ault. From there you descend via the footpath to the Versamer gorge. You cross the gorge over the impressive old bridge. Shortly after the bridge, the hiking trail leaves the road. You follow the hiking trail via Versam Unterhof to Versam village.
