Madeira Ativa › Levada trails › Which Madeira trails are narrow or without railings?
8 marked trails have a quarter or more of their surveyed length either half a metre wide or narrower, or without a railing. These are the ones worth thinking about if heights are a problem for you. The figures come from OpenStreetMap and cover only the surveyed part of each route, so a trail missing from this list is not automatically a comfortable one — check the 'On the path' section of its own page for how much of it was surveyed.
