Morning Glory

Lake Cauma (Romansh: Lag la Cauma, German: Caumasee)

Is a very beautiful and peaceful place to be early in the morning.

The rising sun illuminates the peaks of Crap Ner and Vorab (r to l) and Crap Sogn Gion.

 

The lake is located in a huge forest, that was allowed to remain on the agriculturally useless debris area of the biggest prehistoric rockslide in the alps region, and can only be reached by a footpath or a funicular.

It is one of the lakes on the Flims Rockslide deposits. The lake is fed from underground sources.

 

The level of the lake varies by approximately 4 to 5 meters along with the varying underground water flow during the year, hence reaches its minimum by the end of April when snow melting in the mountains increases. A maximum level is reached by mid July. The very western bay never freezes in winter, probably showing a maximum water flow in this area.
