Madeira Ativa › Levada trails › PR 2 VE
Vereda do Pico do Castelo (Este) (PR 2 VE) is a easy 4.6 km walking trail on Madeira, running from Moledo to Miradouro do Canhão. It climbs about 212 m and descends about 110 m along the way. That averages a gentle but steady gradient, about 46 m of climb per kilometre. It runs between 230 m and 373 m above sea level. It is a point-to-point route. Access status is currently open. The trail is waymarked in yellow.
No bus route is mapped near either end, so this one effectively needs a car or a transfer. It is point-to-point, not a loop, so a car left at the start is a car you have to walk back to — most people arrange a drop-off, a taxi, or the bus. No car park is mapped within 600 m of either end.
