The Fuorcha (Rhaeto-Romanic in the Valader idiom for "gallows") is the former place of execution of the Lower Engadine communities of Zernez, Susch, Guarda, Lavin, Ardez and Ftan. The word has also been preserved as a field name.
The fuorcha consists of two massive stone columns, each about 4 meters high and 1.5 meters in diameter at the base, which are about 6 meters apart on a small level inserted into the slope to the Inn. The wooden beam on which the convicted delinquents were hanged was fixed on the pillars.
