メルティナ-メルティナの滝・トップ20

人工的に作られた滝で、水が複数の段を越えて谷を下っていきます。

Just a few minutes' walk from the center of Lana, a completely different world opens up: the Gaul Gorge at the foot of the castle hill of Braunsberg Castle. Steep rocky slopes rise up on both sides, the river Falschauer babbles over the stony stream bed and even in midsummer the temperatures between the cool rock walls are pleasantly cool. Completely different types of rock come together here: between the quartz porphyry and the primary rock of the Old Gneisse, there is also a narrow strip of granite. Only a narrow strip of land between the massive rocks leads over the unspoiled mountain stream. From the Gaulwiese, a well-secured path leads over suspension bridges, past a roaring waterfall, further into the wildly romantic and increasingly narrow gorge; or up to Braunsberg Castle with a beautiful view over Lana.

Along this beautiful path between Avelengo and Avelengo di Sopra you can see a waterfall and several references (including statues, display panels and others) to horses: Avelengo is in fact known for being the cradle of origin of the Avelignese horse breed, or Haflinger. It is characterized by a ginger-colored coat and a very light mane and tail.

The path leads downhill via the stone-carved steps to the Schnuggenbach with its small waterfall. From now on, the path is flat and very comfortable along the Waal

Magnificent view over the Merano basin

One of the exciting places on the way.

The Schennaer Waalweg is a wonderful hiking trail even for inexperienced hikers. You get a little insight into the art of guiding water through the Waale.

The path leads us over two suspension bridges to the end of the part of the Gaul Gorge that is open to visitors.
