January 25, 2023,Madeira: Auf der Levada Nova durch das Tal von Tabua

First ascent on the Levada Nova near Tabua. Easy, no steep climbs and only a moderate risk of vertigo. But all the better views over the valley and the sea with a lot of sunshine. Very clear recommendation!

A very nice hike - there and back. You have to be careful on the Levada itself, it goes downhill steeply in places... otherwise I can only recommend it!

[Recording from September 25th, 2024]

Today we're walking a bit along the Levada Nova again. Today's highlights are the views of the settlements on the mountain slopes, the terraces that are no longer used due to rural exodus, a small levada tunnel and the succulents and cacti on the edge of the levada.

Relaxed hike along the Levada Nova. Beautiful views of the valley and mountain slopes. 😀 Easy to walk, mostly on a narrow concrete path, there is also a small tunnel. Some sections are unsecured, so you should have a head for heights.

The levada hikes are super pleasant because there is little difference in altitude and you get good insights into different landscapes. The flora on Madeira is really impressive, tropical and everything is very green.

Relaxed tour along the Levada without any major highlights but with great views.

The HM cannot be correct, the only climb was to the bar in Ribeira de Tabua and that was about 60...

In the morning, we undertake another hike along a levada near Ribeira Brava. We take the tour from the Rother hiking guide Madeira - Tour #10: The Valley of Tabua. After a 15-minute drive, we reach Corujeira, the starting point, and park the car on the roadside. There are no visible, designated parking spaces – as described in the hiking …

Nice, easy hike. No gradients. Well signposted. Don't be afraid of heights, hiking boots and a flashlight are necessary.
