Event details

Event Description

In this event we will start our walk near the church of Ponte de Lousa. From there we'll walk along various trails in the valley that leads towards Negrais (Banheira do Javali Trail, Besta Trail, Belavista Trail, Antenas Trail and Lapas Trail), with lush green landscapes stretching from Lisbon to the Serra de Sintra. We'll also climb to the top of the Serra de Monfirre, which is over 400 metres high! Another event not to be missed!

Monfirre

The village of Monfirre belongs to the parish of Santo Estêvão das Galés, in the municipality of Mafra. The village is located about 20 kilometres north-north-east of Lisbon and about 10 kilometres from Malveira. It has the particularity of being situated in one of the most rugged regions of the Municipality of Mafra, the valley where it is located is surrounded by the Serra de Monfirre and the Lapas hill. The village may be more than two thousand years old, as a Roman tomb has been found that attests to its age.

Lousa Bridge

Near Ponte de Lousa, in the middle of the Serra da Carva, we'll pass Loca do Gato, a small cave in the escarpment called Penedo do Gato, above Ponte de Lousa and its river. It seems to have been occupied by humans and could still serve as a shelter today.
