A multiday trekking route is signposted along the young Rhine called Senda Sursilvana, from where the barrier can be spotted easily.{{in lang|en}} [http://en.graubuenden.ch/hiking-switzerland/trekking/85-senda-sursilvana-andermatt-chur.html Hiking Switzerland on Senda Sursilvana along young Rhine] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160311034238/http://en.graubuenden.ch/hiking-switzerland/trekking/85-senda-sursilvana-andermatt-chur.html |date=March 11, 2016 }}
