Vereda do Pico Fernandes
OpenLast checked October 26, 2026
A 3.8 km link from the Paul da Serra plateau at the ER 209 down into the 25 Fontes area, with an hour and a half of walking time. It drops from 1422 m to 990 m, so it is a descent into the Rabaçal basin rather than a level levada walk. IFCN publishes no difficulty grade for it.
