Fantastically beautiful Waalweg absolutely recommendable and for all ages

One of the most beautiful Waalwege in Meran

For straight-hikers and runners highly recommended. Empties in the east in the Tappeiner promenade.

The Algunder Waalweg is indeed very well laid out and also very good to commit, however, one should set foot on early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as otherwise crushing the there promenierenden crowds.

Very nice view with many restaurants

Super nice but in good weather very busy ...

You save yourself on the way to the waterfall, the descent into the place.

Beautiful tour with many beautiful stretches and beautiful views and far views of Merano and Bolzano. Due to the change of sunny and shady sections and several benches along the way, the path is almost always accessible.

Wonderful hiking trails along the Waale!

Also in the fall absolutely recommendable. One of the most beautiful Waalwege

The belonging to Partschins village on the Vinschgauer road has parking, bus stop and train station of the Vinschgau Railway, and is easily accessible from the entire resort area. From there, head towards Oberplars, a few hundred meters on the sidewalk, then continue along the edge of the forest. The signs to the actual beginning of the Waalweges is hard to miss. The Waal itself appears after crossing the road to Oberplars. The soothing lapping will accompany us for a while.

Also a very nice and level path, which is about 8 km long and can be easily combined with a walk on the Tappeiner Promenade. You reach the starting point by bus.

"Waale" are old, man-made watercourses, which in some areas are still used to irrigate fields and meadows. A narrow footbridge, the so-called Waalweg, was built for the maintenance and care of a Waal. With the construction of the artificial watercourses, a new job profile was created, the so-called Waaler. He ensured that the Waal was functioning properly and that the extremely valuable resource was distributed fairly.
Here on the Algunder Waalweg you can see the water reservoirs for irrigating the vineyards.

A beautiful area around Merano.

Easy to commit very many beautiful views of the area.

The Algunder Waalweg is very beautiful ...

Very nice and level hiking trail with a view of Lagundo and Merano. Also suitable for older people, my mother (69) and dog (12) did it well.

The Algunder Waalweg is a two-part hiking trail, 5 to 6 kilometers long, which leads along the Waal (water channel). The Waalweg runs almost flat. This makes it ideal for older people or families with children. You will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of Algund and the entire Meraner Land.

The Algunder Waalweg, which runs above the village of the same name in the Burggrafenamt, has wonderful vantage points that allow the view to wander over the entire Adige Valley. It runs 6 km from Oberplars and Mitterplars via Algund to Gratsch.

Beautiful path, lots of benches. Partly in the sun, partly in the shade. 👍

Beautiful stretch of the Waalweg with great views

A very nice stretch of the trail leads along the Waalweg, along imposing rock faces on beautiful footbridges.
