Walking to Clavaniev you will discover one of the finest pieces of art in open air. One can call it an installation.
has the famous artist Tinguely been active around Disentis? No!
The origin of this piece of craftmanship is a farmer’s system to scare rats away from the water. By ringing bells and make wheels turning the rats do not dare to go higher up into the mountains.
I do not really believe the rats do obey to this idea but nevertheless you will find here and there little mills on water streams in the Surselva for this purpose.
Take your time to watch this one. It is by far the nicest of the region. You can find it in Clavaniev, Disentis
very nice! wonderful water works. make something like that to scare the squirrells who sleep in my car.
