Vide‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 호수

Next to the Nave de Santo António, the Covão do Ferro or Padre Alfredo dam, inaugurated in 1956, uses a glacial cirque and collects water from the Alforfa stream. It was commissioned by Father Alfredo to supply electricity to the wool industry in Unhais da Serra. Unhais da Serra can be seen in the background.

Located at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters, Lagoa Comprida is the largest water reservoir in the Serra da Estrela, intended for hydroelectric generation. This natural lake lies in a wide depression of glacial origin, approximately one kilometer long, which fed the Covão Grande glacier. Numerous glacial scars are visible along its banks, making this lake one of the most interesting geomorphological sites in the Serra da Estrela. Construction on this lake began in 1911, and by 1914, it was already six meters high. Later, in 1965, it underwent heightening work that increased its height to 28 meters, currently boasting a storage capacity of approximately 14 cubic hectometers, flooding an area of approximately 80 hectares. Small streams of water flow into this lagoon, as well as water retained in the Covões dos Conchos and Covões do Meio and carried to this lagoon through underground tunnels.

Beautiful waterfall, but potentially empty. There is access via the levada from Cabeça, with a flat path in relatively good condition. People with vertigo may pass through the canal in the narrowest areas. Wear trousers and boots because of the nettles. Enjoy!!!

Nice vantage point on the lake

Shortly before the actual highlight comes this beautiful waterfall. You can swim in the bathing pool below. However, seating is limited.

Incredibly beautiful waterfall with bathing pool in an idyllic location. Access is not easy because you have to descend 250 m from the village of Loriga and of course you have to climb it again later 😅 The brave can also jump into the water from a few meters up.

beautiful route through the lakes of the highest area of prtugal be careful with the paths ..... be attentive because sometimes they get lost

What a great view. The path only gets better and better!
