Forest, like the whole of Madeira, is a great place to visit all year round due to its stable spring weather. However, when it comes to the forest itself, there are certain weather conditions that make this place so magical. To experience the effect you see in our photos, the forest must be sinking in fog, therefore you must be lucky. We visited the forest several times at different times of the day and each time there was fog. At this altitude, 1150 m above sea level, it is not a rare phenomenon, so it is very likely that you will be able to experience what we experienced. To increase the probability even more, it is best to visit the forest in the morning or in the evening (then as it is getting dark the effect is completely different, but still amazing).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

spend more time in this area, there are several options for hikes:<\/p><h6><strong>Vereda do Fanal (PR13)<\/strong><\/h6><p>The hike begins on the Paul da Serra plateau and ends in Fanal, near the forest guard office. There is a volcano crater at the top. You will come across spectacular views of the island and the ocean. The trail is located in the area of the Laurissilva forest, which has been classified as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage and is part of the Natura 2000 network. One of the attractions of this trail is the remains of ropes from a device used to transport wood and shrubs.<\/p><h6><strong>Levada dos Cedros (PR14)<\/strong><\/h6><p>The Levada begins on the Paul da Serra plateau &#8211; the only plateau in Madeira. Levada dos Cedros is a water canal dating back to the 17th-century. The route leads through the Laurissilva forest and the Fanal crater. The most interesting natural specimens are the laurel forests, in which several specimens of laurel are natural monuments from the times before the island was even discovered. The water in the Levada comes from the springs of Lombo do Cedro, located at an altitude of 1000 m above sea level, on the slope of the right bank of the Ribeira da Janela stream.<\/p><p>For more info
