Lava Rock Arch of Ponta da Ilha

Highlight • Natural Monument

Beautiful hike along the lava field coast. Sometimes a little difficult to follow the path. Stability is advantageous. Back it goes on a dirt road.

Ponta da Ilha Lighthouse

September 14, 2024,Felsentor – Engrade Bay loop from Piedade

Beautiful Hike along the coastline, to a larger degree Over lava rocks. Good boots needed, as well as sufficient drinking water. A very nice black dog followed us all the way, we were almost prepared to adopt it

October 17, 2021,Lava Küstenabschnitt – Farol Ponta da Ilha Runde von Calhau

Great hike through lava fields on the Atlantic. Surefootedness and good shoes with a profile and thick soles are absolutely essential. About three km go through the lava fields. The way is not always easy to find.
