Interesting hiking tour around the so called «Tumas» (rubble cones) in Domat/Ems and the surrounding Rhine valley.

The plain around Domat/Ems consists of different landslides: The Flimser Bergsturz, Kunkels and Calanda. The erosion has left over only the hard debris. This hills are called «Tumas» and build a protected nature reserve today.

The Chur city bus no.1 takes you from the main station to Domat/Ems (bus-stop «Domat/Ems Post»), the starting point. During this hiking tour you will explore different «Tumas», cross the Rhine river and visit the village of Tamins. On the way back to Domat/Ems, you cross the Rhine river another time, across a weir this time. At the same bus-station (Domat/Ems Post) you take the bus back to Chur.

Tips and hints

If you would like to shorten this tour, from Tamins follow the way northwards and directly walk down to Pradamal. You will save one hour walking time this way.
