Οι καλύτερες ποδηλατικές διαδρομές Sameice

Στο κέντρο του πάρκου και εύκολα προσβάσιμο μέσω ενός όμορφου, ασφαλτοστρωμένου δρόμου βρίσκεται ο Πύργος. Αυτό είναι το υψηλότερο σημείο της οροσειράς Serra da Estrela· πουθενά στην ηπειρωτική Πορτογαλία δεν μπορείς να το βρεις ψηλότερα. Στην πραγματικότητα, το υψηλότερο σημείο βρίσκεται στα 1.993 μέτρα. Ένας μικρός πύργος ύψους 7 μέτρων στην κορυφή του βουνού συμπληρώνει τα 2.000 μέτρα.

Μια φανταστική και πολύ απομονωμένη ανάβαση από το São Romão. Τη στιγμή που πέρασα, ο δρόμος ήταν κλειστός για μηχανοκίνητα οχήματα λόγω έργων στην κάτω περιοχή, γεγονός που εξασφάλισε μια ανάβαση με μηδέν αυτοκίνητα και πλήρη επαφή με τη φύση.

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.

The Serra da Estrela Natural Park is something truly special. This 1,000-square-kilometer park, spread across six municipalities, was the first and currently the largest protected natural park in Portugal. It is home to the highest point on the Portuguese mainland, the country's only ski slope, the source of two important rivers, and a fascinating, alpine-like landscape formed by glaciers.

At exactly 1993 meters above sea level, Torre is the highest point in mainland Portugal, where the only ski resort is located. The landscape on the upper plateau of the Serra da Estrela is like a sprinkling of granite rocks over low scrub and patches of snow and ice, which the sun threatens to melt soon in the summer and which always returns the following winter. In winter, it sometimes becomes inaccessible.

Beautiful panoramic views from the highest point in Portugal. You can ski here in winter, and there is sometimes snow even in summer.

We were lucky with the weather, bright sunshine. There was still a lot of snow in May, children were able to borrow a bobsleigh and play in the snow. At a cool 8°C!!

Place with incredible views, several slopes
