The dry stone walls along the Rumelingweg are very prominent and immediately catch the eye. At the start of the joint project in 2020, almost all of these walls were overgrown with vegetation, in need of renovation and in some cases in serious danger of collapsing.
The Pfyn-Finges Nature Park and the nature park municipality of Leuk set themselves the goal of preserving and enhancing the dry stone walls along the historic transport route of national importance.
Since 2020, sections have been maintained, renovated or rebuilt every year on the basis of the upgrading concept developed. In 2025, a section of the wall will be demolished and rebuilt by a group of community service workers from the Stiftung Umwelteinsatz (SUS). The preparatory work will start in April, and the community service workers will be busy building the dry stone wall from April 21 to May 2, 2025. A total of around 43 m² of new masonry will be built.
