Alter Zerfreilaweg mit historischen Flurnamen

Beautiful, varied hike through forests and over green meadow terraces. In the past, the old Zerfreila trail was the only connection between Zerfreila and Vals on the right side of the valley. Shady forest paths with steeper, stony paths alternate with green meadows. However, the path runs mainly in the forest. There are always interesting things along the wayside: The "warm Kracha", a deep crevice, the Calvari chapel in the forest and also again and again the view into the deep Rotabärg gorge.

Since the summer of 2017, the old Zerfreilaweg has been provided with plaques that refer to the historical field names. A flyer is available at the start and exit of the hike or at the Visit Vals tourist office.

From the parking lot of the Vals cable car, follow the steep path above the road to the left of Zerfreilastrasse. Below the Gross Cheer, the old Zerfreilaweg crosses the road for the first time. Continue along the path. After the second crossing of the Zerfreilastrasse over a small stream. Crossing another stream to Grüana Wasa. The path continues over the Seetobel (the stream that flows from Lake Selva) ascending to large pieces of rock and stones like stairs upwards. Right past the Bildbalma. Now the path becomes less steep and leads into forest clearings with wet rock slabs to the height of the Rotabärg. Almost vertically, the rocks fall into the gorge on the right. Now again over a stream. On the left hand comes the tipping point. Now in a partly sparse forest to the Geissfelli. Continue past the Warma Kracha (a deep crevice) to the Calvari Chapel. Continue to the forest meadow Ussera Bleika and then to the Inner Bleika. Follow the path through sparse trees to the Zervreila restaurant.
