마데이라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 폭포

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 Cascade of 25 Fontes (Portuguese: Cascata das 25 Fontes) is the impressive highlight of the levada hike of the same name in the Rabaçal region. Numerous small streams bubble from the moss-covered rock face into a clear, shimmering green lagoon. The streams are particularly visible after rainfall, often more than 25. The cascade is located at the end of hiking route PR6 (Levada das 25 Fontes). The waterfall is not very high, but the numerous cascading streams create the effect of a natural curtain of water. The scenery is surrounded by dense laurel forest (Laurisilva) – a UNESCO World Heritage Site with endemic flora and fauna.

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.

Regardless, the entire hike from Levada Nova to Levada Moinho is definitely fun and can only be recommended. The highlight is definitely the waterfall in between.

As soon as you come out of the tunnel you have a great view of the waterfall.

Wow, as soon as you are out of the tunnel you can see and hear the waterfall. Very impressive.

A highlight is this waterfall at the end of the Levada Nova.

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.
