국립공원 리아 포르모사‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 호수

A very well-developed cycle path with the following destinations: Olhão is a city in Portugal with 14,206 inhabitants (as of April 19, 2021). Olhão is located in the so-called Sand Algarve, the Sotavento. This is the name given to the region that stretches between Faro Airport and the Spanish border in eastern Portugal. Among the numerous architectural monuments are a number of historic public buildings, various social housing blocks from the Estado Novo regime, the 17th-century fortress, and two Baroque parish churches. The historic town center as a whole is also a protected monument, and a tidal mill can be visited just outside the city. The Ria Formosa Natural Park is a nature park surrounding a lagoon in the southern Portuguese Algarve. With a protected area of 170 km², the lagoon is one of the largest lagoonal nature reserves in Europe. The lagoon itself covers 83.5 km². Fuseta, also known as Fuzeta, is a town and former municipality on the Algarve coast in southern Portugal. The German author Holger Karsten Schmidt, writing under the pseudonym Gil Ribeiro, created a crime series set here.

At low tide it is teeming, crabs are active everywhere 🦀

@ScottKane: Of course it's a beautiful place - the whole EcoVia is lovely. The problem at this point, when we were there, was that it was difficult to get through. There were signs on the private property saying that no-one was allowed to walk through. And in rainy weather or high water, you couldn't get across the beach. Maybe that's different now?

The Ria Formosa, a wetland of international importance, is a labyrinth of channels, islands, marshes and sandbanks that stretches for 60 km, specifically between the beaches of Garrão and Manta Rota, on the Algarve coast. Its diverse ecosystems attract a wide variety of animals, including, of course, numerous species of birds such as the purple crake, the park's symbol. If you want to admire this bird with its magnificent plumage and learn all about the protected area, start your visit with a visit to the Marim Environmental Education Centre. There you will receive information on the most suitable hiking trails and the shelters where you can hide to observe the different species in their natural environment. The park also organizes trips on an old boat that was originally used for tuna fishing. https://www.visitportugal.com/en/content/parque-natural-da-ria-formosa

The wonderful nature park begins right next to the airport. Despite the airport's proximity, you can find a variety of different birds.

The Ria Formosa Natural Park is a popular breeding ground for numerous bird species such as herons, spoonbills, cormorants, cranes and storks. Flamingos can also be seen here. The natural park is also home to purple gallinules, which can only be found in this part of the country.

Ecovia: Signage is already there, wooden bridge path is still being planned.
