Sandomil 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The Devil's Horns are a prominent granite rock formation with two horn-like points, located in the Serra da Estrela mountain range, near Lapa dos Dinheiros and Senhora do Desterro (not in Gerês, but in Seia, Portugal). They are the highlight of a famous circular hiking trail that follows a water channel and the Caniça stream, offering stunning landscapes, lagoons, and waterfalls. 👍🥾

The Lapa dos Dinheiros river beach is in perfect harmony with nature. Located in the parish of Lapa dos Dinheiros, on the Caniça River, a right-bank tributary of the Alva River, this bathing area is nestled in a mountainous landscape dominated by the Lapa Souto (south of Lapa) and imposing granite outcrops. With clear water, very appealing for swimming, the beach boasts the award for accessible beach and has lifeguards and a bar available to visitors. The rugged terrain of the valley causes the river to form a succession of small waterfalls nearby. The Lapa Souto, in addition to its valuable collection of centuries-old chestnut trees, is also home to a high level of biodiversity. From the bridge, a pedestrian path leads to the Moura Hole and a viewpoint over the Caniça Waterfalls. The Buraco da Moura is a natural cave system created by the sliding and accumulation of large granite blocks, which formed a complex system of rooms and galleries. How to get there? Once in Seia, follow the EN231 to S. Romão. From there, continue uphill for about 5 km, toward Loriga/Lapa, until you find the sign for Lapa dos Dinheiros on the left. Once inside the town, simply follow the beach signs. Coordinates: 40º 23′ 07.0″ N / 7º 41′ 50.1″ W

Caution: collapsed path (also aqueduct) 2.5 km from the start. Possible but dangerous passage.

Among the terraces, chestnut groves and pine forests, a rural heritage that is as authentic as it is surprising is hidden. Like this house, for example, which seems to have grown out of the rock itself: embedded in a huge boulder, in a perfect symbiosis between popular architecture and raw nature. It is as if it had been sculpted by the mountain.

As the name suggests, this is a large hollow, an amphitheater sculpted by nature, where a lagoon lies that, on hot summer days, can disappear completely. Even so, the landscape remains stunning, imposing and filled with the overwhelming silence of the mountain.

At the Covão do Meio Reservoir, the waters give the illusion of floating on the horizon: a serene mirror suspended between the sky and the mountains. But the most surprising thing is the tunnel, over two kilometres long, that drains the excess water to Lagoa Comprida, in a piece of engineering that is invisible to the eye.

The enigmatic Devil's Horns rise from the granite, defying the sky with their six-metre height. Sculpted by erosion over the centuries, they earned this bold name thanks to their sharp and imposing profile. But the charm doesn't end there: around this unique formation, there are small crystal-clear lagoons and serene waterfalls, creating a true natural refuge that seems to have come straight out of a fantasy story.

Nestled on the banks of the Caniça river, a tributary of the Alva river, this beach area is a haven in the middle of a mountainous landscape, where ancient chestnut trees and granite blocks shape the scenery. The crystal-clear, inviting water is perfect for a refreshing dip. The beach, which has been awarded the title of accessible, has lifeguards and a bar, making the experience even more enjoyable.
