For those more beautiful hike along the irrigation channel Gschneirer Waal, we start with the above Schluderns Gschneirer yards, road No. 19 From there, the trail winds through the forest, mainly on the sun's Schluderns and ends at Grein farm. The Waal is one of the most beautiful in the Upper Val Venosta, he once led more than 10 km to the fields. He is still in a length of 3 km in its original form and is reminiscent of the technical prowess of our ancestors. Water runs from May to October. Length: 8 km

We hiked along the Gschneirer on 06/28/2011 Waalweg full length, and although the top is clear to read "Water runs from May to October," the Waal was totally dry! We were very disappointed and upset because we had traveled 150 km extra, just to see this Waal. Even more annoying is that the mountain or Leitenwaal might have had water, but we've got just the dry! The issue of irrigation channels is done for us at least until further notice!
Hello Mr. Hunter,
We have obtained the following information about the Waalmuseum "Vintschger Museum" in Schluderns:
The water distribution in Schluderns is related to the "Road" days (water sequence) together. Unfortunately, you've just caught this week, referring to the water, according to this order, the top courts no irrigation water. Thus, the results of these controlled Gschneirerwaal days without water.
Venosta, there are nearly 300 sunny days a year, our farmers still use the whales to irrigate their lawns and fields. Therefore, it can always happen that an Waal sometimes takes no water. We therefore ask for your understanding -. The staff from the TV office and museum Vintschger Schluderns.
We would like to add that whales, which are no longer used for irrigation piled up, and turned into walking trails have been created so beautiful panoramic routes. There are now also built irrigation systems, especially in the lower Val Venosta, where many areas have turned into orchards. (Read Waalwegführer including the "whales & Meadows Val Venosta" - Gianni Bodini, Bertram Stecher), available at the TV Association Venosta). Of course we can not guarantee the accuracy of the information given, although attempts have been made to provide reliable information.
A tip: The new theme of rising sun after Burgeis Spondinig, where you always get along the way cultural and historical information including the Waalsystem. - Overview Description Parameters page on our hiking suggestions.
