Niewielkie opady deszczu już wieki temu zmusiły rolników w Vinschgau do kreatywności. W ten sposób powstały tak zwane „Waale” – kanały nawadniające, które doprowadzały cenną wodę na łąki i pola. Dziś wąskie ścieżki biegnące przez lasy i sady, obok zamków, pałaców i kapliczek, stały się popularnymi celami pieszych wędrówek – Waale na Malser Haide w Górnym Vinschgau zostały nawet wpisane na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO. Zwłaszcza wiosną i jesienią warto podążyć za cichym szumem wody przez śródziemnomorski krajobraz.
