View of Curral das Freiras

Highlight • Viewpoint

The climb from Nun's Valley to the Eira do Serrado viewpoint is not long (2.5 km), but there is almost 400 meters in altitude to overcome. Not a really difficult route, but you do need fitness.

Site that provides unique landscapes of Madeira Island. The Eira do Serrado viewpoint is a little further from the place of the same name. It is also possible to continue further towards Curral das Freiras, but there are tunnels on the road. There is an on-site cafe, as well as ample parking.

Old road tunnel between Eira do Serrado and Curral das Freiras

Highlight • Structure

The old road between Eira do Serrado and Curral das Freiras. The road is still intact but is slowly becoming overgrown. Some old traffic signs and guard rails are still there. Nature is making its presence felt with rocks and drops on the road.

I can't confirm Chantal like this. It is not wanted to go the way. But it works without any problems. It looks angrier than it is.

Serpentines Trail to Curral das Freiras, Parque Natural da Madeira

Highlight • Trail

Few hikers, well-developed path, easier ascent thanks to the switchbacks, but still strenuous. Lots of opportunities to enjoy the view.

Viewpoint Over Curral das Freiras

Highlight • Viewpoint

The climb from Nun's Valley to the Eira do Serrado viewpoint is not long (2.5 km), but there is almost 400 meters in altitude to overcome. Not a really difficult path, but you do need to be fit, so a nice rest area with a great view is just the thing.

April 5, 2025,Curral das Freiras - Dolina Zakonnic

On this day, the warm-up was supposed to be trekking in the mountains, but the weather turned bad and we had to change our plans. A short walk and back to the parking lot in the rain.
