Barroca 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The climb up the walkways to the Cabeço do Mosqueiro viewpoint can be challenging, but every step is worth it. Along the way, traces of the past peek out from the surrounding nature: a stretch of Roman road, old watermills and the Forno das Mouras. Take a break, take a deep breath and let yourself be amazed by the landscape that unfolds around you. This final stretch of the Orvalho Walkways is even more magical at dusk, when the golden light of the sun caresses the slopes. At the top of the cliff, the viewpoint offers an unforgettable view over the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Confiança and the vast landscape.

In the heart of Beira Baixa, in the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, lies one of the most stunning walkways in Portugal. The Orvalho Walkways, part of the PR3 Orvalho GeoRoute, take you along a route where nature and geology intertwine in magnificent settings. Here, you can not only explore UNESCO-listed geomonuments, such as the imposing Fraga de Água d'Alta Waterfall and Cabeço do Mosqueiro, but also admire some of the region's most breathtaking and iconic landscapes.

Hidden at the base of the Orvalho Walkways, the Fraga de Água d’Alta Waterfall slides down 10 metres of rock, forming a small crystal-clear pool around it. It is a true natural refuge, where a refreshing dip becomes even more irresistible in the scorching summers of Beira Baixa. When the place is calm, the sensation of swimming under the waterfall becomes magical. It is no coincidence that this is considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Portugal. And the highest in the region!
