Levada do Alecrim

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Levada do Alecrim has a staircase-lined garbage that is often photographed in guides or guidebooks. Since the trail is often "in the fog," the rays of light in the drops and wetted cobwebs on the softwoods along the roadside are broken and mirrored: a special setting!

Viento Lagoon

Highlight • Waterfall

SECRET TIP ;) - At the end of the stairs, you reach a beautiful waterfall and a small lake that goes with it. The lake continues to flow and then becomes the Risco Waterfall. This spot is suitable for swimming. It is much less crowded than the other two falls.

Wind Lagoon Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Partly steep and slippery descent, but from time to time a magnificent view of the area and the Risco waterfall allows. You should definitely choose this route instead of the paved (already alone to avoid the Touri masses)

Beautiful path on the Levada do Alecrim, the descent to Lagoa do Vento is quite steep, not for those with knee injuries.

If you hike a lot and seriously, I would skip this one. crowded, sneakers, vans that throw non-hikers out at the very last opportunity and there are much nicer tours. Even early in the morning, not possible

August 12, 2024,MDR 10 - nach Lago do Vento/Levada do Alecrim/Lagoa da dona Beja🥾

The Levada Alecrim is the highest level of four levadas that run one above the other and originate here in the valley. The experience is almost as good as the classic "25 Fontes" but with significantly fewer tourists 😉.

The "MDR" numbers refer to the great travel and hiking guide by Martin Krake!

A great tour that I would do again anytime. It is advisable to start early as the car park is always very full and it is difficult to find a spot on the side of the road.
First it goes very steeply down an asphalt road. There is a minibus on this route to Rabacal. Finally, after about 1.5 km, …

When it's wet, sturdy shoes and surefootedness are essential. We didn't think the hike itself was that great, as it mostly goes through the forest and doesn't offer much of a view of the surroundings. In summer, it's probably extremely crowded.

And, very important: people with knee problems should not do the hike, as it involves a lot of steps.

January 2, 2023,🇵🇹Madeira: Rabaçal 25 Wasserfälle aus 25 Quellen (wg. Nebel geändert)

We chose or put together our first tour here on the island from the Kompass hiking guide Madeira Tour No. 47+49 (due to poor visibility)
The flora and fauna were spectacular. It gives the impression of hiking 'in the tropical, fairy-tale jungle'. If you love levada hikes, this is the place for you. Unfortunately, it was a bit too wet …

August 8, 2022,wandeling Levada Alecrim naar boshut Rabaçal

Today our last day on Madeira and a nice walk from the plateau Paul that Serra. The drive to it alone is unbelievably impressive. High peaks and then the plateau (flanked by the now inevitable windmills). From there walk along the Levada Alecrim (a Levada that flows through a drier area) with crooked trees that provide the necessary coolness and …
