In Meran and surroundings you can promenade along the ancient water canals, the so-called "Waalwege". The Waalweg in Rabland/Rablà is a tranquil circular hiking trail, perfect for a pleasant walk the whole year round for the whole family!

Author’s recommendation

Highlights:
- St. Jacob’s Church in Rabland/Rablà
- Roman Milestone in Rabland/Rablà
- "Waalschelle" (the regular sound of this bell showed to the "Waaler" (the responsible man for the function of the irrigation canal, that the water was flowing regularly)
