    Hiking

    Ultimately, it is the fish farming (due to the cold water) that has made this place famous
    Translated by
    Ribeiro Frio means "cold river" and is a popular tourist destination in Madeira. Here trout are bred in an ingenious system of basins with fresh mountain water flowing through them.
    The trout raised here not only end up in the cooking pots of the individual restaurants on the island, some are also released into the wild in the island's streams.

    Fish farming on the Ribeiro Frio. The fish can later be eaten in the restaurant of the same name. A visit was possible, even free of charge in June 2022!
