Twelve kilometers long, the Marlinger Waalweg trail is a popular hiking trail which runs along the former irrigation channels, the longest of its kind in South Tyrol. Starting at the Töllbrücke bridge, the 250 year-old path gently ascends through apple orchards and woods to firmer and more level ground. After pausing to admire the medieval Lebenberg Castle, hikers continue slightly downhill along the slope of Marling mountain to the village of Lana.

Details

From Marling station take the Vinschgau Railway line to Töll. From here follow the signs to the entrance to the Marling Waalweg trail. The Waalweg runs above Marling as far as Oberlana. Here there is a short, steep descent to the bus station, from where bus no. 211 returns to Marling. Leave the bus at Marlinger Brücke bridge and then take path no. 33 to the centre of the village of Marling.
