포르투갈 최고의 등산 경로

하이킹을 위한 좋은 주차장으로, 주차 요금도 합리적입니다. 정상까지 차로 올라갈 수도 있지만, 그곳에서는 주차 요금이 두 배가 되고 주차 시간은 1시간으로 제한됩니다

A lovely little hike with magnificent views. In my opinion, the difficulty level is by no means moderate, but rather easy. Sure, you need a bit of stamina, especially uphill. But the trail isn't technically difficult, not even downhill. We hiked it today with two children, ages 4 and 6, and it was absolutely no problem, even though it rained several times and the path was quite wet. Anyone who says this was the steepest hiking trail of their life has clearly never seen a truly steep one :)

Breathtaking views from the hiking trail. Fortunately, ropes are attached to the boundary posts, which many hikers gladly use. Whether going uphill or downhill, they simply provide a sense of security.

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.

Today, in the rain and fog, these gnarled old trees looked truly mystical. Only the fairies didn't make an appearance in the rain.

Parking is limited directly at the cable car station. However, parking is available on one side of the steep access road.

The section of the Levada do Caldeirão trail between the cliffs leads you close to vertical walls, often offering spectacular views down into the valley. The gentle murmur of the levada accompanies you, while above you, rocks and vegetation form an almost tunnel-like effect – a true sense of adventure is guaranteed. Take care on the narrow, sometimes wet path and enjoy the unique photo opportunities along the way.

From the saddle in Madeira Natural Park, the view opens up far across rugged mountains, deep valleys, and, depending on the weather, all the way to the coast. Clouds often drift across the slopes, creating constantly changing light. It's the perfect spot for a breather, a few photos, and a long, expansive view before continuing on the trail.
