Orjaisのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Thanks for sharing.🙏

In the heart of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, Valhelhas River Beach transforms the young course of the Zêzere into a haven of freshness and leisure. Between mountains and generous shade, this space has everything for a perfect day: clear waters, good infrastructure, and a setting that invites you to forget about the clock. In summer, the music sometimes extends the party into the night, attracting those who can't resist the charm of a river still in its infancy, but already full of life and stories to tell.

Between Vale de Amoreira and Valhelhas, the Zêzere meanders through a flat, narrow bed, shaped over centuries by the accumulation of fertile alluvium, rich sediments left behind by the river's generous floods. Today, these deep soils support fertile fields, while from up here, the valley opens up into sweeping, breathtaking panoramas, where the landscape stretches like a living canvas of the Serra da Estrela.

Here you can do a really nice small (approx. 3.5 km) circular hike, which is quite demanding (T3). Sure-footedness and good shoes are mandatory. The highlight is of course the jump into one of the waterfall pools of the Poco do Inferno.

Somewhat hidden waterfall cascade of the Poco do Inferno waterfall. Much nicer in my opinion than the larger cascades below. A bit hidden and difficult to access...... so it can be that with a bit of luck you are all alone here. Good footwear and sure-footedness are required for the ascent.

The beginning of the route had it all. Sure-footedness and safety at height should be available

Combined with a hike, this is one of the highlights of our vacation in the Serra da Estrella.

A wonderful waterfall with a natural pool that invites you to swim ;)
