The starting point of the trail is in Scuol. Numerous mineral water springs have turned the capital of the Lower Engadine into a wellness destination. Some of the village fountains have fresh mineral water. The old parts of the village, Scuol Sot and Scuol Sura, impress with their Romanesque architecture. The Swiss National Park, the spa and, of course, the ski area make the village a popular holiday destination. The valley trail begins at the eastern edge of the village of Scuol. It crosses the River Inn for the first time over several bends and slightly downhill. Passing the small farming village of Pradella, you reach Sur En, the gateway to the Uina Gorge. There used to be three corn mills, sawmills, lime kilns, two leather tanneries, a forge, a dye works, a roller and a cone mill here. Hard to imagine today when looking at this dreamy mini-village.
