Οι καλύτερες ποδηλατικές διαδρομές Cabeça

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.

Ο δρόμος είναι επίπονος, αλλά ο προορισμός αξίζει τον κόπο.

Covão dos Conchos is an artificial lagoon located in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, Portugal, near the mountain village of Sabugueiro. Covão dos Conchos became famous for its bell-mouth spillway[1]. The spillway was built in 1955 to allow water to be transferred from the Ribeira das Naves River to Lagoa Comprida. It is part of the Serra da Estrela Hydroelectric System. This science fiction-style spillway became famous when photographs of the hole went viral on social media in 2016. Over the past 60 years, the growth of vegetation at the funnel's mouth has created extraordinary biodiversity and increased its ethereal allure. It is 4.6 meters high and 48 meters in circumference. The tunnel that collects the water is 1,519 meters long.

Sabugueiro, the village vying for the title of highest in Portugal, is also one of the most authentic ambassadors of mountain life. Among granite houses and comforting flavors (cheese, sausages, roast kid, and honey), you can find the warmth of blankets and burel coats and the company of the faithful Serra da Estrela mountain dogs. Surrounding waterfalls, streams, and lakes remind you that here, nature is as generous as the table.

A beautiful nature trail, about 9 km round trip to Covão dos Conchos. Unfortunately, on August 15th, the water couldn't reach the hole and thus reveal the waterfalls. It's a reservoir, part of the Serra da Estrela hydroelectric system. A funnel-shaped drainage structure that allows water to flow from this body of water to Lagoa Comprida. The spillway was built in 1955 to divert water from Ribeira das Naves to Lagoa Comprida. Over the past 60 years, moss and foliage have grown over the mouth of the funnel, creating a captivating spectacle. It is 4.6 meters high and 4.8 meters in circumference. The tunnel that collects the water is 1,519 meters long. It's a stunning place to visit, not only for the combination of human intervention and nature, but also for the surrounding landscape.
