A nice capture Sonja. I wonder how long these stones have been in this position, and who put them there.
Best wishes, Doug

Well, Doug, this is a very controversial story, you might get different definite answers according on who you ask, and if you repeat them to the wrong party you might get talked back to testy and acerbic. Once upon a time, but not so very long ago, there was a selflearned prominent douser who decided there are energy fields of rhetian stone circles, thousands of years old. The ones professed with promoting tourism in the village really liked the idea, so it was decided to dig wee holes along the lines where the rod gave a nod, and -- big surprise -- in a grassy high valley left by a glacier, there was sizable rubble, and where ever a hole was dug, there was indeed a rock of propper size to put up and place elevated above the meadow. Serious archeologist where less enthused, as there was no propperly conducted dig that ever brought up signs of hightened early human activity in the area, but there was a scientsts symposium anyway, where any guys of sundry reknown with a doctor title and harbouring a love for new age concepts and mystic pre-history could hold a speech of their own and socialize in a nice hotel for some days, having a great time amongst those with like deams and oppinions. So soon a lot of very scientist aproved and state sponsored interpretive stuff and infra structure could be put up within the ample area of stone circles and lines, with very official looking decals in the upper corner. And the regular vacationing hikers stand in awe, look at everything and later pass everything about the old cult site they happened upon on their blogs.
Megalithic Portal, not falling for "information"that occures by multiplying a unsupported tale so often it becomes difficult to google dissenting stories, lists it in this way:

Guess that settles it mostly.

Lucky -- Aber sicher, wilde rhaetische Hexen beim Tanz, und nachher ein Kaese Fondue rund um einen Gusseisenkessel, so wie bei Asterix und Obelix und den Helvetiern, das waere vieleicht ein interessantes Eventkonzept, wenns mit den ernsthaften meditierenden Kraeftejunkies mal nicht so hinhauen sollte.
Mir gefaellt an der Gegend vorallem das Botanisieren und die Aussicht, die vielen einfacheren Wege und die gute Buttermilch auf der Alpe.... fuer Steinkreise wuerde ich eher Falera in der Schweiz empfehlen, kleiner aber fundiert, mit einer uralten Kirche, was ein gutes Indiz fuer einen heidnischen Kultplatz ist.
