Steep stone steps in Madeira Natural Park

Highlight • Trail

The stairs are well developed and go a little to the substance. Especially in hot weather.

View of Risco and 25 Fontes Waterfalls

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 25 Fontes waterfall is one of Madeira's most magical places. Water from countless small springs and rivulets flows over the moss-covered rock face into a clear, green pool – a sight that seems almost fairytale-like. Surrounded by dense laurel forest and ferns, this spot is the impressive centerpiece of the entire levada hike.

25 Fontes (25 Springs) Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful natural spectacle that you don't see often. The 25 Fontes are certainly worth a visit. However, you share the joy with many other hikers.

Queimadinha Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Queimadinha viewpoint offers sweeping views across the green valleys and densely wooded slopes of Madeira Natural Park. The mix of laurel forest, heather, and open clearings creates a diverse panorama that impressively showcases the island's pristine nature. A tranquil spot, perfect for a short break with a view.

February 18, 2024,[564] Madeira: Die Levada do Rocha Vermelha | Runde von der ER 209 🌤️ 3🥾 ☕🍰

The clouds of fog are still hanging in the mountains when we set off towards Paul da Serra in the morning. Up on the plateau, the sun and fields of fog change with every kilometer. We start today's hike where we crossed the ER 209 in Tour [557]. First we go over the ridge along the Vereda do Fanal (PR …

July 2, 2025,PR 28 - Levada Rocha da Vermelha

Today was probably the king of the route. A demanding tour with steep descents and ascents. First, we descended endlessly over natural and prepared steps; an estimated 3,000 steps. This gave us an idea of what awaited us at the end of the path. We followed a short stretch of the Levada 25 Fontes to the famous waterfall. A short …

Very, very nice round trip on Madeira. If you don't like so many meters in altitude, turn around at the narrow stone staircase, next to which the Levada rushes down. From the Rabacal forestry lodge, a shuttle bus runs back to the car park from 9.30 a.m. for €3 per person. The walking time is shortened by approx. 1 hour. …

This hike was really nice but we underestimated the time. The route goes slightly downhill at the beginning and then changes to steep terrain over steps. The end of the descent is a very narrow staircase almost vertically down about 100m (without railings 😉) so not for the faint-hearted. It took us a good 3 hours for the first 3 …
