Hiking
Natural disasters are life-threatening and they stir up emotions. In 1618, a landslide caused a stir that destroyed the small town of Plurs/ital. Piuro in the upper Bergell valley in Graubünden completely destroyed. The site was and is below Monte Conto, whose rich deposits of Lavezstein, a soft and refractory slate, were extensively mined for centuries. The landslide, which was triggered by the excavations and excavations in the rainy summer of 1618, occurred on the evening of September 4th, according to old calendar calculations on August 25th
