    We hike here along a typical Vinschgau Waalweg. The ascent to Juval Castle is rewarded with a magnificent view. The water and dense trees and bushes provide cooling even on hot summer days.

    The Waal, with its lush vegetation, cuts through the Sonnenberg and is surrounded by typical steppe slopes. Juval Castle, the residence of the extreme mountaineer Reinhold Messner, overlooks the entrance to the Schnalstal. A visit to the museum with its Tibet collection, mountain art gallery, and mask collection is also worthwhile. On the way there, you pass the “Waalerhütte,” which used to be a shelter for the on-duty “Waaler.” The clatter of the “Waalschelle,” driven by a waterwheel, indicates the steady flow of water.
