세라 다 에스트렐라 산맥 주변 최고의 폭포 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

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 history of Manteigas is linked to the abundance of livestock and butter production, which gave rise to its name. It's a central location in the Serra da Estrela mountain range, known for its natural heritage, such as the Zêzere Glacial Valley, and its thermal springs, with sulphurous waters at CISE. Founded with its own municipality, the town has a rich cultural and ethnographic history, also standing out for its wool production (Burel Factory) and the beauty of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, making it a strategic point for exploring the mountains. 👍🥾

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

Thanks for sharing.🙏

The city that served as my base, where I stayed, for two hikes, on routes that I recommend.👍🥾🦯

The Mondego Walkways are a series of wooden walkways that form a pedestrian itinerary along the banks of the Mondego River and the Caldeirão Stream. It begins at the arch of the Caldeirão Dam and ends near the village of Videmonte. Walking on walkways, suspension bridges, and dirt roads, the route is about 12 kilometers long and has a cumulative elevation gain of over 600 meters. I've been there before and loved the views. I recommend it. 👍🥾

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

Wear a hat and sunscreen in the summer. Bring water.
