    Hi Stephanie, thanks for your question. The PR 6.1 CLT – Levada do Risco trail is linear, which means you return to the starting point along the same path. It is 1.5 km to Levada do Risco and 1.5 km back, making a total distance of 3 km. The trail starts on Regional Road no. 105, in Rabaçal, where you are immediately welcomed by a landscape dominated by lush green tones. The dense natural surroundings accompany you along the entire 1.5 km walk to the final point. Have a great adventure! The Outdooractive Portugal Team
