Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές ποδηλασίας δρόμου στο Καστέλο Μπράνκο

Ο Torre είναι το υψηλότερο σημείο της ηπειρωτικής Πορτογαλίας, με υψόμετρο 1.993 μέτρα. Βρίσκεται στην καρδιά του Φυσικού Πάρκου Serra da Estrela και χρησιμεύει ως διαχωριστικό όριο μεταξύ των δήμων Seia, Manteigas και Covilhã. Για να φτάσει τα 2.000 μέτρα, ο βασιλιάς Ιωάννης ΣΤ' διέταξε την κατασκευή ενός πέτρινου μνημείου στην κορυφή του οροπεδίου στις αρχές του 19ου αιώνα.👍🥾

Cântaro Magro is one of the "commonplaces" of the Serra da Estrela mountain range, whose summit rises to 1928 m altitude, deserving a visit at any time of year. Viewed from west to east, its silhouette resembles a pitcher. In summer, its rocky face is interrupted by small terraces of soil, where some of the rarest botanical jewels of the mountain range grow. In winter, it is covered in snow and ice which, as they melt, form ephemeral waterfalls. These recall the overflowing liquid from the pitchers carried on the heads of women when, in the past, they went to the fountains. #CISE #VisitSeia #ParqueNaturaldaSerradaEstrela

Offering breathtaking views of the southeastern slopes of the Serra da Estrela, Cova da Beira, and the charming city of Covilhã, the Varanda dos Carqueijais, which rises 1,130 meters above sea level, is a stunning suspended viewpoint, magnificently perched in the heart of the surrounding natural landscape. The suspended walkway was the best way to provide an excellent experience for visitors, creating a kind of amphitheater, a balcony overlooking the inspiring natural landscape. This viewpoint is an integral part of the viewpoint route, developed by the Municipality of Covilhã, with the aim of promoting the region's natural heritage.

beautiful view

goodbye vegetables 😔

Valhelhas was born among verdant hills, sheltered in the sunny Zêzere valley. Today, it's synonymous with perfect summer: one of the largest river beaches in Beira Interior, with crystal-clear waters, generous shade, and all the support for leisurely days. But the village of this "small valley," a translation of Vallicula, its Roman name, holds more than just freshness: from the 16th-century pillory to the Philippine Bridge, passing through chapels, a church, and the ruins of the old castle, every corner tells a piece of history. And, of course, there are flavors worth the trip in any season: goat, Guarda sausages, Zêzere trout, requeijão (curd cheese), and the unmistakable Serra da Estrela cheese.

In the heart of the Serra da Estrela, Manteigas is a mountain town that doesn't need grand monuments. Nestled above the Zêzere Glacier Valley, it enchants with grand landscapes, sparkling snowy winters, and soul-warming cuisine. Carved by Europe's southernmost glacier thousands of years ago, the surrounding mountains are the stage for endless adventures, legendary trails, and corners of pure tranquility. Here, every turn reveals a new landscape, each season paints the town with different colors, and each visit leaves you feeling like you've truly entered the heart of the mountain.
