Watermill and Roman bridge

The area of the springs, on the Ota River, was once a leisure area for the local population, including the local bathing area in the summer. This site remained natural for a long time after the EPAL was installed, but at a certain point, the intensification of agriculture with the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, intensive livestock farming, and urban sewage made the flow from upstream a polluting threat to EPAL's water intakes, and EPAL paved several dozen meters of the river course near the site where it is installed with reinforced concrete.

Usually in summer there isn't much water there, but always a beautiful place to walk or bike.

great place to chill out. even have a bath. don't know if it will have water in summer though.

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.

The Ota River has its source in the Montejunto mountain range. It flows through the Ota area and empties into the Alenquer River, which in turn meets the Tagus River near Vila Nova da Rainha. At this point the river is close to the village of the same name, Ota.

The Serra de Montejunto Forest Watch Station can be accessed via a pastoral trail from the picnic park. It offers a beautiful panorama of the region north of the Serra.

The karst landscape of Montejunto constitutes the extreme southwest of the Estremenho Limestone Massif. Deep valleys, lakes, gravel pits and lapiás are some of the formations found here, testimonies of various geological eras. Water has been the protagonist in erosion phenomena over time. Several deposits of gravel pits result from the cracking of the outcrops caused by the expansion of the water which, when freezing, breaks the rock into small parts.
