Itinerary description

Trail carried out in large part in the heart of river Turio, takes the visitor through a direct contact with the most beautiful that nature has to give. You can observe various forest species with leafy specimens. Water lines tear these stands, giving grace and enriching whole this landscape. The peace and tranquillity that feels and lives here is one of the strongest reasons why this area is usually frequented by roe deer, boars, squirrels and foxes. Besides being able to cross the midst of all this ecosystem, visitors can still enjoy its undeniable aesthetic value, observing the sights from the viewpoints of Pedra Escrita and Serradela. You can also benefit of the two picnic areas to refresh yourself and gain strength for the rest of the walk.

    This was a really nice trail. It's well marked but this always helps, mainly because of the waypoints.
    However, it was marked (here in wikiloc) on the wrong way, and, in my opinion, it's better to do it otherwise.
    There's a big uphill that's challenging but okay to do it. It has a fountain in the end, so it's perfect. We found both horses and cows, so we had some nice company along the way.
    The majority of the trail is not exposed so it's okay to do it during the day, when there's sun.
