Living river stories
At the Carola spring, historian Paul Eugen Grimm talked about the time when the Inn formed the border between Switzerland and Austria and the heyday of spa tourism. Brigit Kohl showed the impressive flora and fauna in the Panas-ch floodplain and the dynamic changes in the floodplain landscape. Geologist Jan Sedlacek presented the Engadin Window and the international water management of the Inn. George Hein from Engadin Adventure aroused enthusiasm for river rafting at the wooden bridge in Scuol, and Cla Mosca gave exciting insights into fly fishing. A herbal footbath in Scuol rounded off the excursion.
Everything flows! Graubünden rediscovers its rivers as lifelines
«The Inn – river stories between Zernez and Martina»
«Everything flows! Graubünden rediscovers its rivers as lifelines» – this is the new motto for Friday, 20 September at 6.00 pm. The project from the last forum «The Inn – river stories between Zernez and Martina» will be presented at the Forum Aua Forta. The En/Inn example should serve as inspiration and motivation to encourage other river regions to become part of the «river story community» in Graubünden.

Mineral springs
Origin of water tourism in Scuol
Over 20 mineral springs bubble up in the area around Scuol, which were first mentioned in documents in 1369. The towns of Scuol, Tarasp and Vulpera became world-famous 100 years ago as health resorts thanks to their mineral waters and still attract visitors from all over the world today. The Büvetta Tarasp drinking hall in particular attracted a great deal of attention thanks to spa and water tourism. Today you can marvel at the historic drinking hall from the outside, bathe in the Bogn Engiadina mineral baths, walk along the mineral water paths along the Inn, book experiences and explore village fountains to get closer to the history of water in Scuol.
