Pretty blatant but impressive tour in high alpine landscape on the lunghin pass. Following passes are crossed:

• Julierpass (2284, light)

• Septimer pass (2310, medium) • lunghin pass (2645, hard) the Julier pass is to drive at a pleasant inclination. The downhill to Bivio verläut on the road rapidly.

Afterwards we three hefty climbs - at the beginning, in the Middle, and the pass - through the Valley on the Septimer. In between, there are fortunately flat pieces to the breather.

On the Septimer pass, a mountain trail leads left away towards the Lunghin pass. This is in general quite good mobile (necessary force provided :-), there are however shorter wearing passages to cope with. Opening high mountainous chat is stunning and it is believed to be... in some places on another planet

Reached the Lunghin pass, will look beautiful shambles this freely on the 'Lägh dal Lunghin'. What is interesting is that the pass is the only triple watershed in Europe. From here the water runs in

• the Black Sea (en/Inn)

• in the Adriatic Sea (Maira/Mera)

• in the North Sea (FARA/Julia) the following downhill up to the 'Lägh dal Lunghin' is super nice and impressive. Unfortunately, the liquid roles for the first is then over. The following is a longer distance with short well mobile offices, but also many ' stop & go's and shorter supporting passages. It has an exposed point that is not entirely harmless even shortly after the Lake. Important is therefore the trail over the pass only in dry weather and enough to take time in attack (-> variant A).

The trail is just before the turnoff into the 'Via Engiadina' Fortunately again great and mobile liquid.

Pass Lunghin

That is beautiful to drive 'Via Engiadina' final and the views of the Engadine lakes are fantastic.

Variant A: Instead of the 'pass Lunghin' at the Septimer pass straight on the historically significant 'Römerweg' down in the Bregaglia Valley after Casacca and the Malojapassstrass back up. Back on the right side of Lake Silvaplana and Sils. The departure of the Septimer pass is also a black trail, and there are also around 350 from Casacca HM to the Maloja Pass to deal with, but it is probably the easier and safer option.

Variant B: who wants not to Silvaplana, but according to Maloja, can the point of P2039 straight (not included in the 'Via Engiadina'), about 'Grevasalvas' down at Lake Silvaplana ' Plaun da Lej' and the Lake along the main road to Maloja.
