바이앙‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 천연기념물

Beautiful view of the other side of the river.

This path descends through the valley of the River Bestança along one of the old roads that lead to the Prado area. The Bestança rises at Portas de Montemuro and flows into the Douro: 13.5 kilometres of crystal-clear water, it is one of the purest rivers in Europe. Its ecological balance sustains otters, trout and genets, while since ancient times, mills scattered throughout the valley have used its waters to grind cereals, especially corn, preserving a valuable rural heritage.

On the banks of the Douro, the atmosphere is pure magic. It is the perfect setting for a peaceful snack, surrounded by the birds that have found their home here. From time to time, watch the cruise ships gliding along the river, rising and falling to the rhythm of the water.

The Douro Valley, with its iconic terraces, is a masterpiece sculpted by nature and human ingenuity. The stunning landscapes of this unique setting earned it the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. During the harvest season, the valley comes alive, and visitors can not only admire the Port wine grape harvest up close, but also get their hands dirty and take part in the tradition.

Mini sandy beach, on the edge of the picnic park, with tables, bbq, fountain and WC.

After about 350m you will find a large swing over the stream, which is attached to a tree trunk and is suitable for adults.

A beautiful discovery on the edge of the EN222. Easily accessible natural pools with fresh running water (so-called wells). On foot it is possible to advance up the river to a waterfall. There is a picnic area nearby and a drinking fountain in the parking lot on the opposite side of the road.
