Moinho do Félix and Félix Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

It's a shame that all the old mills are no longer in operation. At least the ruins are a testament to times gone by.

April 19, 2024,🇵🇹 Azoren, São Miguel: Félix Mill Trail

Wonderful tour to the three waterfalls "Homem", "Teofilo" and "Gruta" and a hidden bathing area. The trail takes its name from the old Félix mill, whose mossy ruins still stand in the forest.

A very beautiful, varied and sometimes challenging hike. There were stairs, waterfalls, an old mill and even more stairs 😅... and climbs without stairs 😝
