The dating of these carvings is unsure, but they are likely to be Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. On one of the rocks there are motifs of crosses, possibly of medieval period.
You can access the rock art in Carschenna with a marked trail which starts at a parking lot near the eastern entrance to the road tunnel east of Thusis. The first rock (arriving from the east) is most extensively decorated, it bears complex cup-and-ring marks (including the ten-ringed cup). The other carved rocks are located alongside the same footpath, overlooking a steep slope.
