Although it is practically parallel to Levada do Risco (PR 6.1), sharing the same starting point, this trail of moderate difficulty will take you to different places of interest and sceneries.
Characterised by superb natural surroundings, Levada das 25 Fontes gives you the chance to discover (and certainly contemplate calmly) Lagoa das 25 Fontes, created by the waters that come down from Paul da Serra and which emerge here thanks to 25 water springs.
