Igreja da Lombada

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Lombada is a mandatory stopping point for those who come to walk along the levada do Moinho. Its main feature is the double facade, which gives the impression of two different churches.

Levada Nova (Madeira Natural Park)

Highlight • Trail

Long, dreamlike levada with spectacular views, partly exposed, through places and some waterfalls over, some tunnels, some with Bückzwang.
At the long tunnel just before the end with spectacular views of the waterfall has exposed the sat nav, hence the strange path documentation.
Most start on this Levada only in Lombada da Ponta do Sol.
However, the given altitude do not vote at all, then according to a Levada there is only a little slope!

Unfortunately, the recorded altitude is once again incorrect. Should be over 400 m. Starting point at 90 m.

Beautiful tour on the Levada Nova. Great to walk, very nice view of the sea and the valleys. In Ribeira da Tabua we made a stop at the cafe, very good coffee and homemade cake, really tasty. Then we went back to Ponta di Sol.
