This 7-kilometre route starts in the Schist Village of Cerdeira, heads towards Candal, passes through a levada and ends near Lousã Castle.
Along the route, participants have the opportunity to appreciate the landscapes, flora and fauna that characterise the Serra da Lousã, a place with a very special mystique. It rises and falls covered in green, often shrouded in mist, which gives it a unique magic and mystery.
The area is home to deer, wild boar and roe deer that lurk among the cork oaks, chestnut trees, oaks and, of course, pine trees. It is therefore part of the Natura 2000 Network, which ensures the long-term conservation of Europe's most threatened species and habitats.
Of medium difficulty, this route is only suitable for people who are used to mountain walking and, due to the steep gradient, it is not recommended for people with vertigo.
Come and enjoy this experience and discover the enchanted corners of the Serra da Lousã.
