The Levada do Norte Trail in Madeira is a classic and extensive route (approximately 51 km in total) that carries water from the north to the south of the island, offering incredible views over Câmara de Lobos, vineyards, and Cabo Girão. It features several sections with varying levels of difficulty, from moderate to challenging, including tunnels, staircases, and rural and coastal landscapes, making it ideal for hiking year-round. 👍🥾🎄

Levada do Norte

Highlight • Trail

Easy and fairly flat levada that can be walked by almost anyone due to the small height differences. Beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean and the lower landscape.

later the levada is undergoing renovations, which means that the paths along the path look rather desolate and the stream is in new concrete channels, which does not make the atmosphere of the Levada so great - would not be back in a year or two, if all again overgrown and vermoost is.

February 26, 2024,Madeira 4: Levada do Norte

Today a short and relaxed morning hike, not much elevation gain and not that long. Officially, the hike on this levada is categorized as easy. This may be mainly due to the length of a maximum of 8 km if you just walk the tour. Since I had to go back to the vehicle, I got more kilometers. In addition, …

Today we will test who is suitable for the hikes. Difficult climb over the Serra de Aqua valley over many different stair heights. Strength and endurance were required here and when you gasped and thought we were at the top, there was another mountain to come.
But then we wandered along the levadas. First we went through a …

December 6, 2021,Madeira - Levada do Norte ( PR17 ) & Abstecher zum Cabo Girao

Today we went along the Levada do Norte, a tour without tunnels, dry paths and no significant obstacles. The ditch, which runs with a lot of water, supplies the wine and banana plantations. A good view of the individual valleys and the coast can be enjoyed.
On the way back we took a detour to the Cabo Girao platform. At …

December 13, 2024,vom Gabo Girao nach Ribeira Brava - Wandern auf der Levada Norte West

The start at Cabo Girao is easily accessible by bus from Funchal. First bus in the morning at 8:05 a.m., line 142. Return from Ribeira Brava at least every hour, various bus lines.
The last hour of the hike leads steeply downhill, directly down to Ribeira Brava, mostly on easy-to-walk stairs.

October 3, 2024,Entlang der Levada do Norte zum Cabo Girao Skywalker

The altitude is incorrect. It was mostly flat along the levada and the vegetable gardens. At the end, the road went a little uphill to the Caro Girão Skywalk.
The weather was fantastic, 27° with bright sunshine ☀️🥵.

Unfortunately, the way from the levada to the coastal road/bus stop is about 3km on roads without sidewalks.
In the second part, the levada has largely dried up due to a major construction site

Always nice along the watercourse enjoying the view and especially the botany🤩. For me, as a botanically trained person, an almost infinite abundance of shapes and colors.
