Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Something else - in the midst of banana cultures on a Levada run, that is the levada is covered with large plates :-)

Banana Plantations of Funchal

Highlight • Structure

Watch out. When turning into the valley, the path seems to have disappeared: there is a house under construction. But you can go right past the house over a very small path and overgrown levada

October 12, 2023,Madeira - Durch Bananenplantagen - Levada dos Piornais

Short, sharp climb, then almost no elevation gain.
Levadas, similar to the Waalwege in Meraner Land, are water transport routes for irrigation.
Partly open, partly completely covered. Some surefootedness is recommended. Varied path, always new impressions.

Very nice levada hike along the Levada dos Piornais in Funchal with very nice views over the city and insights into the banana plantations and small gardens along the levada. The levada is very well maintained and easy to walk on.
