Beschrijving
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 Holenduif 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 Grauwe Klauwier and the Gekraagde Roodstaart. During migration, Paapje and Roodborsttapuit are often spotted, and there are records of the Klapekster 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 Grauwe Kiekendief is sighted passing through this corridor. It’s worth scanning the more distant trees for resting Roodpootvalk or Bijeneter — both rare species that are nonetheless seen here regularly. From these trees, you may also hear the distinctive song of the Draaihals.
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 Cirlgors and Geelgors, 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 Kleine Klapekster (1967 and 1974), three of Roodkopklauwier, one of Griel, and, more recently, two of Kortteenleeuwerik, a species that will likely appear here more often in the future.

Toegang
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.
