테라스 데 보우로 최고의 러닝 경로

Leonte 폭포는 지금 (8월) 말라 있습니다. 하지만 걷기 좋은 아름다운 길입니다.

The Chalcedony Trail (PR1 TBR – Trilho da Cidade da Calcedonia) is one of the most iconic routes in Peneda-Gerês National Park, located in Covide (Braga), within the municipality of Terras de Bouro. It leads to the ruins of the City of Chalcedony, an ancient pre-Roman hill fort high in the mountains. It offers panoramic views over the Homem River valley and the Gerês mountains. The trail passes through native forests, rocky areas, and natural viewpoints.

A spectacular rocky section where granite boulders rise like "sleeping giants" all around you. The trail ascends towards the peak of Curvaceira, at 919m, and offers panoramic views of the deep Covide Valley.

The Calcedonia Crack is one of those passages that seems to have come straight out of an old fairy tale: a monumental crack between two granite giants. For those who like a challenge, the route involves climbing and jumping between huge blocks fitted together at the base. Going up is easier than going down: there is more support, more traction, and less hesitation. There is no need to cross it (the trail elegantly skirts the crack) but, for the more adventurous, facing this crack is almost a ritual: a mix of adrenaline, vertigo and raw landscape that leaves its mark on those who pass by.

As you climb, the granite blocks grow around you like sleeping giants. To the south, the Curvaceira rises up at 919 metres. To the north, the Covide valley stretches out below, green and deep. Here, the barrosãs roam freely among the rocks, but those who run know: this is the hard part. Tapered trails, serious ramps and rock that sometimes begs for a handhold on the ground. This is the mountain in its purest form, above 800 metres. Raw, beautiful and unforgettable.

The Leonte Waterfall appears when the waters of the Taleira stream fall from a granite cliff, plunging 19 metres into the bed of the Gerês River. However, in drier summers, nature imposes its own rhythm and the flow can disappear, transforming the waterfall into a temporary silence.

From the top of this viewpoint, the view takes in breathtaking landscapes. To the south, the Gerês valley stretches out, with the Caniçada reservoir framing the horizon. A little to the north, lies the source of the Gerês River, which, over the centuries, followed the course of the Gerês/Lovios fault, carving out the straight and imposing valley that now lies before you.
