20의 모르타과가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Along the cycle path, between Viseu and Tondela, you will find three catering establishments. Between Tondela and Santa Comba Dão there are none.

I also highly recommend this bike path, a real interstate for cyclists, with asphalt all the way and beautiful surroundings!

Beautiful viewpoint!

This 5-star hotel is like something out of a fairytale castle. It stands in the middle of a magnificent park, both striking and beautiful. You can drive there (€7) or walk the approximately 1km (free). On the way to the castle, you'll find beautiful grottos and fountains, before the castle itself appears around the final left turn. You can walk all the way around the building and admire the landscaped garden; unfortunately, the arsonist has done a great job on the boxwood bushes. The decorations and the many azulejos are beautiful. Maintenance is certainly expensive; the decay is evident.

The Fonte Fria is the most famous fountain in the Bucaco forest near Luso. The cold spring rises in a grotto, from where the water flows in a cascade along a staircase with 144 steps into a pool surrounded by hydrangeas and magnolias.

The Buçaco Palace, located in Portugal's Buçaco mountain range, is a former Carmelite convent transformed into a luxury hotel. Established in 1628, the convent featured a garden symbolizing Mount Carmel and the Earthly Paradise. After the monks left in 1834, plans emerged to convert the site into a royal residence for Queen Maria Pia, but political challenges led to its development as a luxury hotel. (Re)constructed between 1888 and 1907, the palace showcases a Neo-Manueline architectural style, reminiscent of Portugal's Age of Discovery landmarks like the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower. Today, it stands as a national monument and is a great place to explore both a luxury hotel and a historic building.

The Miradouro da Cruz Alta, located 547 meters above sea level in Serra do Bussaco, offers 360-degree panoramic views, reaching mountains such as Boa Viagem, Estrela and Caramulo. It is surrounded by the Bussaco Forest, rich in diverse flora and historical legacy.

Beautiful cycle path over old railway line. Not many terraces or other catering establishments along the way. And such a cycle path is fun, but you cycle back the same way.
