Sad UPDATE: Unfortunately, the area around Vila da Ponte was hit by a severe forest fire on August 15, 2025. The bridge and footbridge are destroyed—nothing is as it was. We wish the residents strength (and sources of funding) to rebuild!

The river Távora, dammed to form the lake, is the ideal starting point. Vila da Ponte is the ideal starting point. Swimming is possible at various spots.

The Távora walkways have been given a new lease of life with the bridge that now spans the Ferreirim river, connecting the villages of Freixinho and Ferreirim for the first time. With it, new possibilities emerge, creating circular routes that make longer walks a possibility.

The Távora walkways create a fascinating route along the banks of the Távora River and the Vilar Reservoir, a body of water that has transformed this landscape into a true natural refuge. In summer, the perfect plan is to get up early, walk the trails before the heat sets in and, at the end, cool off with a dip in one of the river beaches, a simple pleasure that feels so good on hot days.

The river beach of Vila de Ponte is one of the most beautiful secrets in the North of Portugal. With stunning views over the immense lake, it is the perfect refuge on hot days. At the end of May, the waters invite you to swim in the floating pools — one for adults, one for children. Ideal for families, the area also offers numerous spots for a pleasant picnic by the river.
