Levada do Norte Tunnel Entrance

Highlight • Structure

At the tunnel entrance you may have to wait a bit because there are hardly any opportunities to evade the 500 meters through the tunnel.
At the south entrance there are benches and intrusive poultry focused on tourists.

January 4, 2022,🇵🇹 Levada do Norte ab Encumeada Pass

Start at Encumeada Pass, simply park your car in one of the parking lots. After yesterday it should be more dignified today without gorse 😉 this levada is not in any of my hiking books and I don't know why. Good to run great view nothing to complain about. I turned around at the tunnel because of the weather, the …

A short hike along the levada irrigation system in a pleasant 25 degrees Celsius with stunning views of the mountains and landscape. At times, you'd think you were hiking through the botanical garden 😃😃😀

Unfortunately there was too much water in the tunnel. We didn't want to do that to ourselves. But the levada is one of the most beautiful for me.👍

March 22, 2026,🇵🇹 Madeira PR17 - Caminho do Pináculo e Folhadal / Levada das Rabaças

The IFCN has surprisingly opened further classified hiking trails (and closed others, such as our PR9 tour from yesterday). We are on our way to São Vicente on the north coast to our next accommodation. The PR17 hiking trail above the village can be hiked again …

December 30, 2021,Levada Walk von Encumeada

Easy nice weather sneaker walk with a wonderful view over the Encumeada mountains :-)
I turned around in front of a tunnel and would rather have a coffee in the restaurant at the starting point - continue enjoying the wonderful view and tranquility in the mountains.
