Monte da Ovelha offers a miradouro (lookout) with a breathtaking view of the vastness of the surrounding valleys and mountains. It is an ideal place to enjoy a pristine environment and pure air, with a panorama that captures the essence of the Portuguese rural landscape.

Hiking
Known as Serra da Portela or Serra do Anjo da Guarda, this is a natural viewpoint overlooking the Pousaflores Valley, where the landscape is filled with life and aromas. Wild orchids, rupicolous plants, "cucas" (a type of gourd), wormwood, and the fresh scent of thyme, which wafts away with every step, flourish among the limestone rocks.
Here, atop Monte da Ovelha, human presence has left its mark: traditional windmills, a small chapel dedicated to the Guardian Angel, the Stations of the Cross for Good Friday, and initiatives celebrating bread and cornbread.

Mountain biking
I only went here once but this is a nice place to go for mountain bikers (and everyone else). It's just a pity some single tracks, especially those going downhill aren't clean because they are really nice, fast and beautiful!
