August 9, 2023,🇮🇹 Kuenser Waalweg ab Tiroler Kreuz

We took the bus 🚌 222 to the starting point Tiroler Kreuz. From there, first through the Spronsertal in the direction of Longfall. Shortly before we turned right ➡️ into the Kuenser Waalweg. Really beautiful 🤩 we really liked the Waalweg. The path leads to Kuens and we definitely wanted to go to the Gasthaus Ungericht and its tractor museum …

May 3, 2025,Von Dorf Tirol nach Kuens

From the bus station in Tirolo, our route first led to the Tiroler Kreuz (Tirol Cross). We could have easily taken the bus for this climb.

From there, we walked along a forest path to the Longfall Hut. There, we were able to rest and refuel. We continued along the highly recommended upper Waalweg (Waal Path) toward Kuens. There, we …

June 9, 2022,Nach Kuenser Waalweg, Tirol

Very beautiful natural Waal. At the beginning of the round was the Tiroler Kreuz. It follows a somewhat steeper ascent on farm roads. After crossing a wooden bridge, the Waal begins and you slowly walk downhill again with the water. The end is then a bit steeper again.

September 13, 2024,Kuenser Waalweg ab Tiroler Kreuz und zurück zum Dorf Tirol

We took the bus up to the final stop in the village of Tirol, the "Tiroler Kreuz". Then we continue up one side of the slope until the valley is narrow enough and we can cross to the other side. The Kuenser Waalweg begins there. I have to say it is one of the most beautiful because it runs in …

October 20, 2023,13 Salamander Runde oberhalb von Dorf Tirol

A round of South Tyrol, with water from above, below and from the side. The stream from two days ago has become a traveling river. Actually saw 13 lurchis plus three toads.

Pro tip for getting there: the 222 from Tyrol takes 15 minutes to get to the start and finish point “Tiroler Kreuz”.
