Excursions to Irrigation channels Val Passiria

Irrigation channels are paths leading along the irrigation systems. These were realised already many hundreds of years ago and some are still used for the irrigation of the fields. The irrigation channels are grooves that are diverted from bigger waterstreams. Due to the low decline the water flows downwards.

The grooves are equipped with watergates, which makes it possible for the single farmers to switch the water off. The irrigation regulation strictly regulates how much water each site owner receives. In ancient years a person was responsible for controlling the irrigation channels and the division of the water amounts. The narrow paths along the irrigation channels are ideal for hiking.
