Hiking
A former Waalweg from which you can only imagine what an architectural masterpiece it was, but still a beautiful hiking trail 👍

Hiking
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.
