It is not Klaus or Claus that gives the lake its name. Claus means fenced meadow. Where there was a meadow until a few years ago, there is now a swimming lake. T2

Description

At the train stop in Mompé Tujetsch, we easily start downhill and don't let the first few hundred meters on asphalt dampen our good mood. We cross the leisurely rippling Rhine and hike in Mises las Cavorgias past pretty maiden pastures and a small lake. A little later we make a small detour into the forest, where two more ponds are hidden and where you can practice archery: www.muntognas.ch (reservation required).

We continue our hike through a shady forest to Cavorgia, where the Sogn Leci chapel presents itself as a great photo motif. The Lag da Claus is, so to speak, a "gift" or a "reward" for the years of perseverance during the turbulent construction period of the NEAT base tunnel. A gravel dump has been turned into a wonderful landscape with a bathing lake that delights guests and locals alike.

Now into the cool water! A swim, a nap on the wooden loungers and then onto the terrace, where we are served a fine snack.

It is then another 20 minutes to the Sedrun train station.

Geheimtipp

Four times a day there is a local bus in the summer, if you don't want to hike the last part to Sedrun

Sicherheitshinweis

Ausrüstung

From Mompé Tujtsch we follow the road down to the cantonal road, cross it, after which it goes on asphalt all the way down to the Rhine. Shortly after the bridge, turn right onto a Fors road towards Cavorgia and Sedrun. At the crossroads in Cavorgia we turn right to Sedrun. The lake is located directly on the access road to Sedrun.
