After the forest fires on September 24, only the bridge is still open. Hopefully the repairs will go quickly.

Beautiful "wooden path" with impressive views. There are lots of stairs to climb up and down, especially the way back has to be taken into account, or halfway there at 2.5km (from the entrance) you can order a taxi from the nice guy. The suspension bridge is impressive... all in all a great experience with swimming opportunities to cool off... we were there at 39*. Part of the path is shaded.

516 Arouca is a pedestrian bridge in Arouca, northern Portugal, constructed as a suspension bridge. With a length of 516 m, it replaces the 494 m long Charles Kuonen suspension bridge (Valais, Switzerland) as the pedestrian bridge with the longest span in the world. It crosses the gorge of the Paiva River at a height of 175 m. Depending on the source, it is also considered the second longest pedestrian bridge in the world after the Baglung Parbat rope bridge in Nepal. Admission is affordable & worth it - please book your time slot ONLINE in advance 👍🏽 the large wooden footbridge is included in the admission and takes up to 2.5 hours depending on your condition
