Description
The Rohanschanze (1) is a barely visible defensive fortification dating back to the Thirty Years’ War. The former ramparts are now crowned with ancient oaks, and the Pigeon colombin can be seen here and in the surrounding fields.
Right next to the site lies a traditionally managed meadow enclosed by hedges (2), offering breeding grounds for birds of the cultural landscape that have become increasingly rare, such as the Pie-grièche écorcheur and the Rougequeue à front blanc. During migration, Tarier des prés and Tarier pâtre are often spotted, and there are records of the Pie-grièche grise from late autumn and winter.
The intensively cultivated fields around the area (3), visible from an observation platform facing north, provide resting places for migrating pipits, wagtails, and larks — mainly in spring, but also in autumn. Nearly every spring, the Busard cendré is sighted passing through this corridor. It’s worth scanning the more distant trees for resting Faucon kobez or Guêpier d'Europe — both rare species that are nonetheless seen here regularly. From these trees, you may also hear the distinctive song of the Torcol fourmilier.
Those who follow the path further east reach the southernmost vineyards of the Bündner Herrschaft (4), home to characteristic birds of these landscapes such as the Bruant zizi and Bruant jaune, both of which breed here.
Nearly 200 species have been recorded in total — owing to the fact that the area is regularly visited by Graubünden’s most dedicated birders. Among the very rare sightings are two records of Pie-grièche à poitrine rose (1967 and 1974), three of Pie-grièche à tête rousse, one of Oedicnème criard, and, more recently, two of Alouette calandrelle, a species that will likely appear here more often in the future.

Accès
The area is best reached either from Landquart train station (it's a bit tricky to find the way across the motorway and railroad tracks) or from Malans train station. Those are also the best parking spots if you arrive by car.
