Waalwege Trails in South Tyrol

Hiking along ancient irrigation channels in Merano and Environs

The popular Waalwege trails in Merano and Environs lead along the historic irrigation channels and are easy hikes in a mild climate throughout the year. In the spring they lead through flowering meadows and forests, and in fall past golden vineyards and mixed forests. The waterways have no significant slopes and offer fascinating views stretching to the valley.
