April 14, 2025,Levada do Norte Wanderung

Unspectacular hike from Rother (No. 9).
The beautiful view is only available if you take a detour along the right-hand levada.
No incline, easy path, few tourists. Beautiful botanical gardens with eucalyptus, taro, small fields, catalpa trees, dragon arum, etc.

The first part was more of a wide, shady forest path, while the second part ran narrowly alongside the levada with a few exposed sections, but it was great in the sun.

January 23, 2023,Madeira: Levada do Norte von Boa Morte nach Espigao

Second ascent of the Levada do Norte from Boa Morte to just before the Espigao Tunnel. Altitude is insignificant. In the last part after Espigao it gets really exposed and steep as usual. The section is still officially closed, but the damage from the landslide has already been repaired and everything is accessible. Spectacular views, no belays, pretty exposed at …
