    Blessing of water and source of warmth for the Walsers

    The Krumbach, which meanders picturesquely through the plateau at the foot of the Salober, not only gave the former Walser community its name, but also indirectly provided it with much-needed fuel. A vast fen developed around the water, which, as the Krumbacher Ried, represents a beautiful ecosystem worth protecting. The Walsers valued the "Wasariad" even more for the peat that warmed their rooms at the time (in Walser dialect, "Waasa" meant a peat area). The place was once called "Krumbach ob Holz" because it lay above the tree line, which is why the residents "usually had no wood and only had to dig and burn moss waasen" as early as 1707. Peat cutting required a lot of skill and was carried out carefully, which meant that the precious fen was preserved.
