Itinerary description
The start of this 8.5 kms trail is at the "Miradouro das Cascatas de Fisgas de Ermelo" with a spectacular distant view of the waterfall.
During the initial 200 meter climb (1.7 kms) you pass the "Miradouro da Cancela".
The trail goes up and down, through several small villages, over historic roman bridges, and with stunning views. The chance is there to cool down in one of the river pools!
Care must be taken in some areas due to the loose stones under foot.
The waterfall "Figas do Ermelo", one of the largest in Portugal, is the highlight of the trail.
Rated 4
Moderate
NOTE:-
This trail is highly recommended BUT it should be done in the summer as it could be difficult to cross the river as we did, when there is a lot of water!!
