Suspension Bridge Over Levada dos Tornos

Highlight • Bridge

Now a suspension bridge spans the small valley, which should best be crossed in pairs (signpost) - but it has been proven that it also works as a loner. Nice …

Levada Nova Waterfalls and Eucalyptus Forest

Highlight • Waterfall

Away from the tourist crowds - a tour to switch off and enjoy nature. Be careful - there are always obstacles to climb over or crawl under.

Levada Nova

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful and tranquil levada above Santa Cruz. It leads through a vast eucalyptus forest – it smells wonderful. Along the edge, there are many lilies, which are sure to be a sight to behold in bloom!

Levada Nova

Highlight • Trail

Very doable, provided you are not afraid of heights. Descent to the suspension bridge can be somewhat slippery.

Levada dos Tornos

Highlight • Trail

The first picture already proves the title wrong. But the number of tourists who "get lost" here is very manageable.

March 17, 2025,MADEIRA Santa Cruz: Rom-Brücke Ponte de Roma-Hängebrücke und Levadas

Today, a beautiful hike above Santa Cruz. We were on the entire Valkea – a loop that isn't as frequently hiked as the official hiking routes.
There's plenty of parking at the picnic area, then the road descends steeply, then a section of levada along a paved path until you enter the forest. Beautiful views, a waterfall in the distance, …

April 30, 2025,Rondwandeling vanuit Achada do Moreno

Yesterday it was alternating sunshine and heavy rain showers, so we took a car trip along the coast.
Today we put on our walking shoes again and start in Achada do Moreno for a walk along levadas, the bridge of Rome, a suspension bridge and some waterfalls in the distance.
About halfway there is a tough climb that seems to …

March 29, 2025,Rom-Brücke – Neue Levada Runde

The loop could be extended by about 7km via Santo da Serra, but it was enough for us. The first section up to the Roman bridge is not accessible to tourists. This means there are no railings or other safety features. In some places, you have to climb over trees. However, you can also take the old road instead.
After …

It is a very nice hike along the levadas. From our starting point, however, we first had to walk a bit down a steep cobblestone road and 347 steps down to the levada and then back up again at the end of the tour 😅 The descent from the Levada dos Tornos down to the suspension bridge is also quite …

Quite urban in parts, ups and downs over short distances, some stairs. Nice tour, but not a must-do.

January 9, 2025,hike over roman Bridge

Very slippery at times so good shoes are mandatory. Also there are trees over the levada (Jan 25) where it's really hard to get threw and a little dangerous if not careful. On times you have to guess the way but only one other couple on the whole track so if you want to get away this you'd be for …

May 19, 2026,Ribeira da Cruz, Levada Nova und Moinho 19.05.2026

Finally the weather is turning. Yesterday's light coolness and muggy air are over. The warmth and sunshine hours are increasing.
Today we hiked a fantastic round. We repeatedly encountered communicative people.
The nice local couple, who came straight to us as soon as they noticed me photographing the "tire flowers".
She picked one of those little flowers for me, then …

March 24, 2026,🇵🇹 Madeira - 🐶 Levada Nova & Santo da Serra: Ein Rundweg voller Kontraste.

We start above Santa Cruz and follow the Levada Nova. The path is initially relaxed until we reach the suspension bridge.

Don't be unsettled! The highlights in the app are not quite correctly placed here. We are briefly unsettled, but then find the right path.
After a short visit to the bridge, it gets serious. We climb up steep stone …
