Schnalser and Stabner Waalweg.
Round tour from TSCHARS to the stately Juval Castle (Reinhold Messner) with a wonderful view of the huge orchards and vineyards of the Vinschgau.
The connection of the Schnalser with the Stabner Waal results in a promising circular hike.
In the past, the Waale in the relatively dry Vinschgau served to irrigate the fields with glacier …

A very beautiful hike along the Schnals Waalweg (Snaessal Waal Trail) to Juval Castle. Magnificent views of the mountains, vineyards, and orchards abound. Today, Juval Castle houses a museum, a winery, an organic farm, and a wine tavern. Unfortunately, the latter was closed today. Juval Castle has been open to visitors since 1995. The MMM Juval, "Mythic Mountain," is part …

Today only a relaxed half-day round on the sunny side of the Vinschgau. Juval Castle is also a picturesque destination for repeated visits, unfortunately the castle landlord had a day of rest today (Wednesdays).

The mostly shady path along the cool Waal makes the hike perfect for such hot days. 🥵 Unfortunately, the Stabener Waal is currently dry on the way back.

a good introductory round in hot weather, shady along the Waalwege. Is the entrance fee for Juval Castle worth it, hmm? in any case, a nice inspiration that reawakened my desire for Nepal🇳🇵

We took the shuttle bus from the Juval farm shop to the starting point and back later. Unfortunately, the lower Stabenerwaal had no water, the upper Schnalswaal all the more, was the nicer part of the tour. On the cactus path there were many cacti to see in the lower part, even if we weren't there when they were in …
