Tips
The Fórnea stream originates here, in the Cova da Velha cave, where a natural spring flows almost all year round. However, due to the limestone soil, the water easily infiltrates, traveling through underground galleries instead of flowing freely on the surface. As a result, the stunning Fórnea waterfall only reveals its full grandeur after days of heavy rain.
