Waal Tunnel Through the Rock

Highlight • Structure

What they did back then is a masterpiece. The canal was partly built in the 1930s and driven through the rock. But back then they didn't have the tools we have now. My respect

May 7, 2023,Algunder und Marlinger Waalweg (Südtirol)

We spend the next few days around Meran. We started the first day of vacation on the Algunder and Marlinger Waalweg.

A wonderful tour in the midst of numerous orchards, which certainly provide plenty of shade in summer.

October 10, 2025,🇮🇹Marlinger Waalweg

A Waal is a man-made irrigation channel or ditch that carries water, usually from a stream and very rarely from a lake, to agricultural crops that are often located very far away.

June 2, 2022,Sessellift Vellau Agund und Marlinger Waalweg

A beautiful but heavily frequented hike on the two irrigation channels with excellent views of Agund, Forst and Meran.
On the way back through Forst you can visit the local brewery.

The Kneipp pool at the beginning of the Algunder Waalweg with a drinking water fountain, a vending machine with drinks, loungers... was very positively noted.

September 18, 2023,Schöne Wanderung um den Waalweg von Algund /Vellau Südtirol

Beautiful hike along the Waalweg Algund/Vellau whether in hot temperatures or, like today, with a bit of drizzle in places, an ideal hiking trail with nice places to stop for a break, e.g. Gasthaus Schönblick with a really nice view of Meran 👌🌞🍻🥾🥾
