The Regiunal Surselva Museum takes us back to the pre-industrial world, which was economically determined by crafts, agriculture and housekeeping. The permanent exhibition in the historic Casa Carniec shows on seven floors how people in earlier times managed their existence and how they organized themselves in families and village communities.

After visiting Ilanz, we drive towards Flims, past picturesque villages such as Schluein and Laax. In Laax you can see the valley station of the famous Crap Sogn Gion ski area and the newly created rock resort made of Vals granite, then you continue to Lake Cauma.

You visit Lake Cauma in Flims. Lake Cauma (Romansh Lag la Cauma, sometimes Lai da Cauma) is located in the uninhabited southern part of the municipality of Flims in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It lies at an altitude of around 997 m with a seasonally fluctuating level and is accessible by a specially built funicular. The water of Lake Cauma is a striking turquoise green. It is also noteworthy that the westernmost bay of the lake does not freeze over in winter, despite its height above sea level and the lake's location in a cold air lake; The reason can be assumed that the lake is flowed through by powerful underground springs, which obviously have their origin in this part of the lake. The drainage is also underground. The water level is subject to considerable fluctuations; in 2015 the lake rose by at least 4 meters and 30 centimeters. The lake reaches its highest level in mid/late July, which roughly corresponds to the end of the snowmelt in the surrounding mountains.
