Parque Ecológico Spitzkopf
An Atlantic Forest reserve on the southern outskirts of the city. The summit, at about 936 meters, overlooks the valley, and streams, waterfalls and natural pools line the trails.
Spitzkopf means 'pointed peak' in German, and it is Blumenau's most popular hiking spot. The park lies about 15 km south of the city centre, adjoining Serra do Itajaí National Park and preserving dense Atlantic coastal rainforest. The summit trail is about 5 km one way and climbs steeply. The round trip takes 4 to 5 hours, and the top offers wide views. Even if you don't reach the summit, you can cool off at the waterfalls and natural pools by the streams below. The park is privately operated and charges admission. Trails are slippery after rain, so hiking boots are recommended.
