Similarly, the hike can be extended if you wish to go as far as the Finstertaler Scharte pass. The cattle tracks are popular with cyclists in summer and skiers in winter.

Departure from Algund - Lagundo (South Tyrol)
A "Waalweg" in South Tyrol is a path that runs alongside a small irrigation canal. These irrigation canals, often well hidden, were created on the hillsides to water the vineyards, orchards and fields; they operate thanks to a sophisticated system of slopes and sluice gates where each farmer can use the water for their crops.The Algund Waalweg is certainly the most iconic and offers a magnificent panorama of Algund, Meran and Dorf Tirol.
