Description
The element earth can be discovered on the 6.5-kilometer-long Feldis flower trail. The basic element earth can be explored on a walk to the old arable terraces, the erratic block, and the Thusisblick viewpoint.
Erratic Block Until about 10,000 years ago when the last great ice age ended, gigantic glaciers covered the area of present-day Graubünden. However, the glaciers were not rigid but moved due to their own weight. Sometimes they carried ton-heavy boulders with them. Such a glacial erratic was deposited near Feldis by the Albula glacier. Until modern times, this erratic block served as a so-called "Term," a boundary stone between the municipalities of Feldis and Scheid.
