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.
