Waal Paths in Merano
These old waterways in Merano fulfill their function today as they did centuries ago: they supply the farmers' orchards with precious water.
Centuries-old water rights and concessions regulate the withdrawal of water and are strictly observed, the same applies to their maintenance and care: for this very reason there are the Waal paths: these lead along the Waale and enable its maintenance and provide access to the individual withdrawal stations. The Waal paths are open to the public and are well maintained. This paths have little gradient, as a consequence Waal paths are also flat and there are rarely obstacles in their way. Whoever walks a Waalpath is accompanied by the water and discovers changing environments in all seasons.

Parcines Waal Path
Parcines
The Waal path for the comfortable. It is short, the Parcines waal path, and therefore relatively quickly walked. A pity, actually, because this Waal hike leads through a very interesting scenic mix of mixed forest and chestnut forests, but also stone cirques. But you still have enough time to visit South Tyrol's highest waterfall, which thunders to the valley just above the beginning of the waal path and can be reached from there in about 15 minutes on foot!
Riffiano Waal Path
Riffiano
The Waal path for those seeking peace and meditation. On the one hand, this path is very little frequented, only rarely will someone disturb you while you let your thoughts run free. If you follow the Riffiano path to the south, it will bring you to a small waterfall, from where the Tyrolean path continues. Heading north, on the other hand, you will come straight to the Riffian pilgrimage church, a top address for believers, pilgrims and culturally interested people.
Brandis Waal Path
Lana
The waal path for every weather and every season! Just above the village of Lana, the Brandis Waalweg leads from Oberlana to Niederlana and ends at the Brandis waterfall.
