The Algunder Waalweg meanders leisurely and almost completely flat along the quietly murmuring watercourse, past vines and mixed forests, through whose leaves the sun's rays fall picturesquely onto the path. As one of the most beautiful canal trails in Merano and Environs, it not only enchants with its fairytale nature, but also with far-reaching views of the garden village of Algund, Merano and the Etschtal Valley. The Algund Waalweg canal trail starts at the Töllgraben bridge below the district of Plars and leads all the way to Merano. Once in the Merano district of Gratsch, it is possible to continue the approximately one and a half hour hike on the Tappeinerweg trail to the centre of the spa town of Merano.
