Auf einer Wanderung an einer Steilküste auf Madeira entlang konnten wir immer wieder schöne Felsstrukturen und Färbungen sehen
Paradies aus Vulkangestein
Weinberge, tropische Früchte, exotische Bergwälder: Madeira wird nicht umsonst die „Insel des ewigen Frühlings“ genannt. Die Vulkaninsel vor der Küste Portugals wird seit 600 Jahren bewohnt – erst kamen Seefahrer, dann Siedler und Tuberkulosekranke und schließlich die Touristen.
Paradise made of volcanic rock
Vineyards, tropical fruits, exotic mountain forests: Madeira is not called the "Island of Eternal Spring" for nothing. The volcanic island off the coast of Portugal has been inhabited for 600 years - first came seafarers, then settlers and tuberculosis sufferers and finally tourists.
Madeira a beautiful island in the Atlantic. Nice people, good food with fresh fish and delicious wine. It is a very hilly landscape with a lot of botany!
Madeira eine wunderschöne Insel im Atlantik . Nette Leute , gutes Essen mit frischen Fisch und leckeren Wein. Es ist eine sehr hügelige Landschaft mit sehr viel Botanik !
Our trip we could, as already mentioned wg. Storm and heavy rains are delayed, but somehow there is a good side to everything - due to one of the heaviest rains Madeira had ever experienced, roads were partly blocked due to Landslides or falling rocks blocked - we couldn't do our original hike along the Levada Pinaculu like this either - but the alternative we did from Encumeada was a hit - with some waterfalls and these filled to the brim - rather unusual for mid-June...
Unsere Reise konnten wir, wie schon erwähnt wg. Sturm und starken Regenfällen nur verspätet antreten, aber alles hat auch irgendwie eine gute Seite - durch einen der stärksten Regenfälle, die Madeira je erlebt hatte, waren zum Teil Straßen wg. Erdrutschen oder Steinschlag gesperrt - auch unsere ursprüngliche Wanderung entlang der Levada Pinaculu konnten wir so nicht machen - die Alternative, die wir von Encumeada unternahmen war aber der Hit - mit einigen Wasserfällen und diese prall gefüllt - für Mitte Juni eher ungewöhnlich...
Bad weather in Madeira at the north west coast. On the right, you see the old road. This is no longer used. You can go on foot. After rainfall, however, it can be very dangerous because of the rockfall (and spontaneous waterfalls;)). So be careful.
Today, there are comfortable and safe tunnel passes.
Another one from Madeira, a stop on the winding road around the island.
In fact, Madeira is like Swiss cheese, with many, many tunnels. I read somewhere these got financed by the EU after Portugal joined. Therefore it's fairly quick to get from one side of the island to the other. To go overland on the small and old roads is very picturesque but can take forever.
Paul da Serra , a large plateau of Madeira with an altitude average of about 1500 meters above sea level. Be careful. It can become very cold (15-20 degrees less than below) and foggy. Madeira, Portugal.

An almost inaccessible cove on the spectacular eastern coastline of Madeira. The “island of flowers”, as Madeira is affectionately known, is a volcanic island in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Morocco. With a subtropical climate, Madeira boasts an abundance of flowers and lush vegetation, diverse landscapes, fantastic hiking trails and delicious food.
