Levada Nova Tunnel Entrance

Highlight • Cave

Along the Levada Nova you come to a small tunnel that is quite low and dark. It is a good idea to have a lamp and duck your head a little here.

Very nice hike. But please note that a head for heights is absolutely necessary on the levada Nova. Please don't underestimate it. We are experienced mountaineers but this trail is not to be scoffed at. No walk. It's very steep down here. If necessary, just walk the levada Moinho. Very beautiful and less exposed.

Levada of the Mill

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great opportunity to combine the Levada Nova with this Levada Moinho to create a circular walk. First the Levada Nova and then the more natural Levada Moinho back.

April 23, 2025,Levanda Nova Levada do Moinho

Also famous on Madeira are the levandas. Here in Valais, they're called "bisses." They're also popular hiking trails. They lead along the slopes, through a wild valley, and in some villages, through front gardens. And the vegetation is always fascinating. The things we keep as houseplants at home, or buy as cut flowers from the florist, grow wild here. It's …

September 11, 2025,Madeira 🇵🇹 - Ponta do Sol 🔄 Levada Nova und Levada Moinho 💦🏞️

The wonderful circular hike on the Levada Nova and Levada do Moinho through the Ribeira da Ponta do Sol valley is a delight.
We start in the small village of Lombada da Ponta do Sol and, to extend the hike, we first walk a section of the Levada Nova towards Tabua.
The hike on the two almost parallel levadas is …

April 24, 2024,Levada a la Antje -Wasserfall Flussüberquerung-

A very easy levada to walk. You can see how the farmers cultivate their own crops and sometimes you have to go through small waterfalls. Adventure comes with a small water crossing. You either take your shoes off here or hop from stone to stone. You hardly notice the difference in height at all. There is hardly anything going on. …

November 1, 2024,🇵🇹 Madeira: Levada do Moinho, Levada Nova

Levada do Moinho, to the dam, Levada Novo to the waterfall and back.
On the other side of the valley we saw the Levada do Coronel, which is apparently no longer accessible all the way...'let's see'. ;-)

February 17, 2024,[563] Madeira: Eine Levada-Wanderung | Runde von Ponta do Sol ☀️ 2🥾 ☕🍰

Ponta do Sol is considered the sunniest place in all of Madeira. From here you can experience both the sunrise and the sunset over the sea. Our Levada hike begins in the Lombada district. The small town is picturesquely located on a mountain ridge. We start at the church and first walk along the Levada do Moinho. The water from …

November 29, 2021,Madeira - Levada Nova, eine Aussicht übers Tal und zum Meer, eine Tour ab Lugar de Baixo

Today we set off with plenty of verve from Lugar de Baixo, heading further up the mountain – past banana plantations all the way to Lombada, where we met the Levada do Moinho. From there, we followed the watercourse – naturally, against the current.

June 20, 2022,🇵🇹 Lombada da Ponta do Sol - Levada do Morinho - Casa Queimada - Levada Nova - Lombada da Ponta do Sol

Hello friends of cultivated hiking,

today made the tour from the Rother hiking guide (Madeira, Tour 12) and/or the Kompass hiking guide (Madeira, Tour 58). Classified as "Black" on both. Well, this hike has no steep sections, what is called "black" here are those places that lead over very narrow sections of the path without protection. Sometimes only about 30 …
