IN.KLANG: PARDITSCH

Through the historic town center, the path goes uphill past the fountain at Goaßplatz, a Schaffel fountain typical for the Upper Inn Valley/Engadin region. Houses and farms stand close together, which, as is usual in the Upper Tyrol, is due to the centuries-old practice of dividing house and land among heirs. Above the village, you reach the Munt pasture via the old path, which is "Allmende" and thus available to the public for grazing. "Munt" is Romansh and means "mountain", pasture on the mountain.  At the highest point of the hike, you reach Parditsch, which in Romansh means "meadow land." From here, the view extends from the Ortler deep into the Engadin, the origin of the widespread Romansh influences here.

The Roman road Via Claudia Augusta led from Vinschgau over the Reschen Pass through Nauders. This alpine crossing, used since ancient times, made feeding draft and pack animals necessary along the route, which led to the grain cultivation whose traces can still be seen in Nauders today. The terraced landscapes "Tantervals" and "Rufanatsch" (located below Parditsch and on the opposite side of the valley) were cultivated and shaped for this purpose over millennia. Flat, arable land alternates with steep slopes that were mown grassland – an extremely varied landscape with a great richness of animal and plant species.
