General description
Waalwege are paths along the ancient irrigation channels. The Algunder Waalweg Trail is split into two parts with a lenght of 5 to 6 km. The hike leads along an historical irrigation canal. The canal trail is almost flat. It is therefore ideal for older people or families with children. Hikers, young and old, will be rewarded with fantastic views of Lagundo/Algund as well as the entirety of Merano/Meran and the surrounding area.
Route description
The Algund Waalweg canal trail passes by Oberplars/Plars di Sopra and Mitterplars/Plars di Mezzo, two districts of Algund/Lagundo, and takes you to the scenically located old village of Algund/Lagundo.
