An almost obligatory stopping point, whether to rest from the climb or to enjoy the landscape. It's just a little further to the top...

The Arnóia River rises in the Serra de Todo o Mundo and flows for 30 km before flowing into the Óbidos Lagoon. A dam was built about one and a half kilometres from Óbidos, in the Horta Valley, whose reservoir was used to irrigate the area's crops.

The Cruz Salvé-Rainha Viewpoint is located at a strategic point in the Serra de Montejunto, the highest viewpoint in Estremadura. From this location we can appreciate part of the geological structure of the Serra de Montejunto, nicknamed the Balcony of Estremadura, measuring 15 kilometres long and 7 kilometres wide. "This limestone massif, half worn away by the erosive action of the saline winds that come from the ocean, constitutes the southern limit of the “Massiço Calcário Estremenho” (Natural Route - Pedagogical Guide of the Serra de Montejunto,

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.

I mentioned that on my previous suggestion for this place. There is an alternative to the blackberry vines: a little before you start to find them, turn left to a little footpath that goes between the trees, it is sloping and can be slippery in winter.

This trail was great fun, but unfortunately blackberry vines have joined the ferns near the end and made the passing a bit complicated.

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.

Small trail that goes through the stunning vegetation that surrounds it. At the end, the trail seems to have no way out, carefully pass between the ferns that are probably taller than you and that block visibility. Visit and respect and Nature.
