Panoramamenhir von Surcasti

A very special significance for the valley Lumnezia and Vals is the menhir (according to the Brockhaus encyclopedia: Breton maenhir, long stone of cultic significance), which stands above the village of Surcasti on the road up to Arliu-Begls-Schumials. This boulder is enthroned at that point of the ridge between Glogen and Valserrhein, from which there is optimal visual connection to both valleys downstream. Thanks to its bright color, this stone is easy to spot from a long distance. From this menhir, almost 20 bearings can be set all around to the mountain horizon. It is not for nothing that this stone has been given the name Panorama Menhir. This stone stands on the important old transit route Vella-Degen-Surcasti-Valsertal-Valserberg.

Panorama menhir of Surcasti

On the upper outskirts of Surcasti, in the middle of a meadow, lies the massive and magnificent panorama menhir. It is made of whitish-beige muscovite marble and is visible over many kilometers away because of its size and light color. According to the Research Centre for Power Places Switzerland, the Panorama Menhir is the central stone of a large, supra-regional stone circle. The energetic mutations have very high values. A few years ago, several large stone slabs were deposited on both sides of the menhir, insulating the lateral energy flow of the powerful Brocken. (Please do not enter the meadows.)
