マデイラの滝・トップ20

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.

The Levada do Risco (PR 6.1) is one of the most popular hikes in western Madeira. It leads through the laurel forest of the UNESCO World Heritage Laurisilva and ends at the impressive Risco Waterfall. The Levada do Risco can be ideally combined with the Levada das 25 Fontes.

The tunnel is not that long, but it is definitely worth bringing a headlamp. After that you will find yourself right in front of the waterfall.

Nice hiking trail, not really steep... but also very crowded

The tunnel is located directly at the waterfall. It is easy to cross. But you do need a lamp.

The waterfall above the Levada Nova is the highlight of this hike. You walk behind the two-part waterfall and if you like, you can pick up some refreshment.

A 200m long tunnel connects directly to the waterfall. A flashlight is required, although the tunnel is dead straight and the exit is always visible.

The short hike offers spectacular views and also beautiful highlights through the tunnel and waterfall. Due to the narrow path and steep slopes, the Levada Nova can only be walked unsecured over long distances by hikers with a head for heights. I started walking at the sunny beach in Ponta do sol. Quite doable.
