    The "Mata Nacional" is a forest area that covers several thousand hectares. Here is the original Iberian forest with its pines, acacia, eucalyptus trees, cork oaks and tree strawberry trees, still intact.

    In the 15th century, the forest had to serve as a raw material supplier for the construction of the Portuguese ships. Today it is a hunting and recreation area, where the native flora and fauna can unfold as far as possible carefree.

    There are 6 hiking trails, some of which are also suitable for mountain bike tours, a picnic area with barbecue facilities, a fitness trail with 14 exercise stations, as well as a public toilet and a children's playground.
