Highlight • Structure

Today, the levadas are used primarily for transporting the water, especially touristy. Trails are signposted in many places on the paths that run alongside the water.

Levada do Norte

Highlight • Trail

Easy and fairly flat levada that can be walked by almost anyone due to the small height differences. Beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean and the lower landscape.

May 19, 2022,🇵🇹Madeira Levada-Trek: Auf der Sonnenseite (Levada do Norte)

This hike leads on the sunny side of the island along the Levada do Norte to the famous Cabo Girão (Cape of Repentance) and on to Estreito de Câmara de Lobos.

Unfortunately, the path mostly runs through densely populated and often ugly areas and therefore does not have the charm of the first four hikes. The cape is of course …

January 28, 2023,Madeira: Auf der Levada do Norte von Boa Morte nach Estreito de Camara de Lobos

First ascent of the Levada do Norte (South)... and what a!

From Boa Morte to just before the end of this levada, extremely fascinating in its entirety, in Estreito de Camara de Lobos.

Great views over the valleys and the Bay of Funchal combined with winding or sometimes exciting sections that are quite exposed here and there. From time to …

The altitude is incorrect. It was mostly flat along the levada and the vegetable gardens. At the end, the road went a little uphill to the Caro Girão Skywalk.
The weather was fantastic, 27° with bright sunshine ☀️🥵.

April 19, 2023,An der Levada do Norte von Boa Morte nach Estreito de Câmara de Lobos (und Abstieg in den Hafen)

The Levada do Norte is one of the longest supply lines on the southeast side of the island and starts in the mountains around the Emcumeada Pass. However, the first kilometers are completely closed to hikers (too dangerous) and the next few kilometers are strongly discouraged. That's why my entry follows the Rother recommendations in Boa Morte - whereby the …

October 28, 2023,Madeira- 4. Wanderung -Die Sonnenseite der Insel - durch Bergdörfer und Gärten

Start in Boa Morte. Initially an easy, straight hike along the levadas. On the way a short detour (about 3km there and back) to a spectacular viewpoint over the cliffs of the south - the Skywalk Cabo Girao or the Cape of Reversal. At 580 meters, it is the second highest cliff in the world and the highest in Europe. …

February 26, 2024,Madeira 4: Levada do Norte

Today a short and relaxed morning hike, not much elevation gain and not that long. Officially, the hike on this levada is categorized as easy. This may be mainly due to the length of a maximum of 8 km if you just walk the tour. Since I had to go back to the vehicle, I got more kilometers. In addition, …
