Levada Staircase Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Under no circumstances should you do it, as everything fell victim to the forest fires in October 2023. It probably took several years to get things back in order.

Madre da Levada Waterfall on Levada do Moinho

Highlight • Waterfall

The Levada do Moinho is a Levada flowing in parts, as some sections have a steep slope. It runs through heathland and laurel primeval forests.
When wet, there are places that are as slippery as soft soap (terracotta-colored surfaces).

The tour was a disaster at the beginning. We were close to giving up...the paths were overgrown and muddy, I mean really muddy.
We had to turn around and continue down the road for 4 km🤮 but when we entered the levada, it was phenomenal and made up for everything.

Since it started to rain heavily, we decided to continue the lap on the road. The paths were very slippery anyway. We ran this lap a few years ago and also knew that the Brasileira is not secured and that it is steep.

February 26, 2024,[572] Madeira: Die Levada do Moinho (2) | Runde von Santa Maria Madalena🌦️☔🌬️ 3🥾
