After a good hour's (1std 20 min) ascent (255 m) we reach the "Laschein" forest pasture with the oldest oak tree in Graubünden. A mystical place under this giant tree! After another good hour (1std 20 min) we reach the former gold mines (349 m). If you want, you can explore the tunnels with the boots and flashlights you have brought with you.
