The Waalweg is the narrow path or trail that runs directly alongside the Waal canal. It was once used by the so-called "Waaler" (the water managers) to monitor, clean, and maintain the canal. They had to ensure that the water flowed unhindered and that all users were supplied evenly. Waalweg trails are very popular with hikers because they are usually almost flat or have only a very slight gradient (the gradient is just steep enough to allow the water to flow, but not so fast that the canal erodes).

Vandring

A Waalweg (Waal Trail) is a hiking or walking path that runs along a so-called "Waal" (watercourse). A Waal is an artificially created, open irrigation channel or ditch. These canals were often constructed centuries ago in South Tyrol. Their primary function was to divert water from higher-lying streams, rivers, or lakes and convey it, often over long distances, to lower-lying fields, meadows, and orchards to ensure the survival of agriculture.
