Santa Cruz Levada Stone Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

4.17 km

At the Ponta de Roma, part of the water from the Ribeira da Santa Cruz is fed into the Levada do Moinho da Serra. The old quarry stone bridge spanning the rocks of the watercourse literally grows into the surroundings and is a popular photo motif thanks to the greenery.

Steep Descent in the Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Like almost everything in life, you can see things from two sides. I would describe the route as a steep climb of over 150 meters. It just depends on the direction of the route.

Comments

March 28, 2025,Wasserfall – Rom-Brücke Runde von Santa Cruz

This tour was strenuous and offered few highlights. The bridge, as well as the view over the mountains into the valley, are nevertheless beautiful. Along the levadas, your muscles can relax before the steep descent.

We shortened the initial incline by taxi. Costs about 6 to 7 euros
