Schnalswaal irrigation channel has been in use for more than 500 years and offers plenty to see: a Waalerhütte hut, a functional Waalschelle bell, chestnut woods, steppic vegetation, and, of course, Juval castle.
From Kastelbell village square, make your way to Köfelgut vinery and continue on tral #3 to Juval castle, part of the MMM-Messner Mountain Museum project and open to the public for guided tours. This pleasant trail winds through mixed woodlands and chestnur trees and mainly flat, gentle terrain. Trail #1 takes you down to Staben. From the end of March to the beginning of November, a shuttle service runs from the farmer's shop at the Schnalstal valley entrance to the castle.
Just before Juval Castle, you can visit one of the last irrigation channel huts and a bell. If you then want more about South Tyrolean culture, you can visit the Messner Mountain Museum in Juval Castle.
