レイリアの滝・トップ6

The Quelhas stream, with its stunning waterfalls and lagoons, is one of the natural gems of the Serra da Lousã. Until 2020, discovering its secrets required tackling one of the most challenging trails in the mountain range, with climbing sections, or venturing out along the course of the stream. Today, with the construction of walkways, exploring this paradise has become much more accessible. And if the heat gets too much, bring your swimsuit; the crystal-clear waters are an irresistible invitation for a refreshing dip!

Access path to the Fórnea Waterfall. The surface is generally good, although there may be some muddy areas after rainy periods.

The Fórnea Waterfall is located right in the heart of the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park, and is fed by the Fórnea Stream, which in turn flows from the Cova da Velha cave.

While I've got to come back to see them in the height of summer AND in winter after a good bit of rain, these cascades were mind-blowing for me. Man-made, coming from all directions and full of life. I could have stood there watching for hours!

Nice quiet route. No water at the waterfall, unfortunately. Because that would give a different experience, certainly worth it for the beautiful views

Wicki and Ilvi

Cornaga Valley - This is a route to take slowly, enjoying the magnificent nature that surrounds you. Listen to the birds, hear the sound of water sliding between old stones. To not lose.
