Itinerary description
Starting at Convento dos Capuchos there is a 5.5km linear walk which offers some of the best trails in the whole of Serra de Sintra. You enter a forested trail from which connects two of Sintra’s best-known attractions - the Convento and the Palácio de Monserrate. The trail leads to a number of small lakes. The first of which is the picture-perfect Lagoa dos Mosqueiros. Going down the hill will take you via more lakes. On the way. look out for the wooden sculptures hidden in the woods.
Serra de Sintra has a number of granite boulder fields that can be climbed but none are as impressive as Monte Rodel. With spectacular 360° views of Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, this is a place to spend some quiet time and reflect. This particular boulder field has a very special energy that has drawn people here since prehistoric times. Not a place for those with vertigo! It is located in between Convento dos Capuchos and Palácio de Monserrate.
