These trails, which stretch along the cliffs of Frecha da Mizarela, offer stunning views of the highest waterfall in mainland Portugal. At every step, the immensity of the mountainous landscape surprises you, making each steep climb a reward in itself.

It is a very varied, lonely tour through beautiful nature and adjacent small residential areas.

In this park is the magnificent Cascada da Cabreia, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Portugal. The waterfall, formed by the waters of the Mau River, has an impressive height of 25 meters and its natural pool is a true delight. On hot days, no one can resist taking a dip in the delicious lagoon that forms at its base. In addition, the environment is surrounded by a lush forest crossed by the crystalline waters of the Mau River, which invites quiet walks and unique moments of contemplation.

The Detrelo da Malhada Panoramic View, in the Arouca Geopark, offers an impressive view over the Freita mountain range and the Arda valley. On clear days you have distant views of Porto and the Marão mountains.

At this point the asphalted section of the climb to Pico do Gralheiro ends, 1000m above sea level. The rest of the route can be completed on a road bike, but it is important to bear in mind that it is approximately 500m on a dirt road.

Worth the pain and hassle, granny gear is an eventual best friend out there!

Starts off fairly gently but gets steeper and steeper with the final couple of KM sitting at 10% or above. It’s a great climb.
