マデイラのおすすめランニングルート

This viewpoint is also worth seeing for sunrise. However, the path from the parking lot at Rio Arieiro to the start of the Ninho da Manta trail was completely icy when we were there. It only became passable once the sun thawed the ice.

This is the only place to stop for refreshments on the hike. The well-stocked bar offers snacks as well as a variety of beers, including a Franziskaner dark wheat beer. Tickets for whale watching, snorkeling, and kayaking can also be purchased here.

From here it's a steep climb up to the 25 springs.

There's always something going on here at the harbor. Especially when the cruise ships are docked and the crowds flock to the city. First, most people storm the CR7 Museum, which is right on the pier where these huge ships are docked.

The Pico Ruivo mountain hut lies just below the summit and is the perfect spot for a break in the thin mountain air. Here you can take shelter, have something to eat, refill your water bottles, and gather your strength for the final ascent. It's ideal for enjoying the view of the surrounding ridges before continuing on to Madeira's highest point.

The Levada das 25 Fontes is one of Madeira's most famous levada trails, leading through dense laurel forests, past ferns, streams, and moss-covered rocks. The narrow, atmospheric path is accompanied by the soothing sound of the water and ends at one of the island's most beautiful spots: the 25 springs. A diverse trail that vividly captures the magic of Madeira's natural beauty.

Lagoa do Vento is an idyllic mountain lake nestled at the foot of a high cliff face and fed by a long, delicate waterfall. Surrounded by rocks, ferns, and dense laurel forest, the place exudes an almost magical tranquility. A beautiful destination in the Rabaçal area, it impressively showcases the wild and unspoiled side of Madeira.

This stream crossing in the Madeira Natural Park leads over flat stones or a small natural ford, accompanied by the clear, babbling water of the mountain stream. Surrounded by ferns, moss-covered rocks, and lush greenery, this section feels particularly pristine and tranquil. A brief, evocative moment that makes the proximity to Madeira's wild nature palpable.
