May 30, 2022,Rundwanderung Maiserwaal - Passer von Obermais/Saltaus

The Maiserwaal stretches from Saltusio to Obermais and is around 9 km long. We were able to park our car for free on a side street in Obermais. From there we went to the start of the Waalweg in the direction of Saltusio. Without a large elevation profile, the Waal meanders through forest, meadow, vineyard and rocky sections through the …

September 17, 2024,Maiser Waalweg - Torggler Hof und zurück entlang der Passer

A beautiful route, starting at the Meran Lazag bus stop. From there you can get straight onto the Maiser Waalweg. The Waalweg is also suitable for high summer temperatures, as you walk mostly in the shade. However, this does not apply to the return route we chose. If necessary, you can walk back along the Waalweg. The Torggler Hof is …

On September 19, 2021 there should be heavy rain from noon. So the plan was to walk the Maiser Waalweg in the morning to the Apple Hotel / Hof Torgglerhof near Saltaus!

Everything went wonderfully, Petrus also had an understanding and only started working when we arrived at the Torgglerhof ... Very nice of him! :-)

In search of the beautiful weather🌞 we drove down the valley to Saltaus. From there we hiked on the Meraner Waalweg to Obermais, then to Schenna and back. Waale are masonry or dug channels through which the water🌊 from the rainy mountains💦 supplies the countless orchards🍎 around Merano. Specially deployed Waalers were responsible for their maintenance👨‍🔧. Starting at the Toggeler …

May 21, 2023,Waalweg von Meran Obermais nach Saltaus und retour mit Abstecher zum Ofenbaur

Beautiful, easy Waalweg path with no inclines from Obermais to Saltusio. There are three places to stop along the way, all of which are not cheap, but excellent. Shortly before Saltusio you can watch great paragliders landing. On hot days, sun protection is recommended for the last stretch before Saltusio because there is little shade.
