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.

Actually a nice circuit, but long stretches on asphalt and sometimes heavy traffic make the route less attractive.

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.

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 👌🌞🍻🥾🥾

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. The term is commonly used, among other things, for the artificially constructed canals in Tyrol/South Tyrol for irrigating fields. Due to its geographical location, precipitation is particularly low …

July 1, 2024,🇮🇹 Sessellift Vellau Bergstation ❤️ Algunder Waalweg ❤️ Marlinger Waalweg ❤️ Sessellift Vellau Bergstation

The satnav was programmed incorrectly and we ended up at the Vellau chairlift mountain station.

Despite the risk of thunderstorms, luckily they let us go.

Then Algunder Waalweg, Marlinger Waalweg and back to the chairlift valley station.

Cool tour.

From halfway on it was raining steadily but that didn't matter 🥰😍♥️❣️❤️

We walked this little whale circuit today in summer temperatures and lots of sunshine. Apparently many others had the idea too. Recommended round
