très belle randonnée difficultés modéré dommage qu'il manque des panneaux pour bien se situe heureusement le GPS pratique
Scenic views, would be better as a circular route. Not signposted.
Easy short uphill to spectacular view of waterfalls. Trail is pretty much all weather.
Super toller Weg zu einem wunderschönen Wasserfall.
Randonnée dans des chemins de tracteur, pour rejoindre un lac au bout de 14.5km qui finalement est moins jolie que sur les photos.
superbe randonnée ! paysage à couper le souffle. je vous conseille de vous garer sur le parking de l'église et de commencer par le levada de moinhos. une fois au bout de ce levada, on a traverser la rivière et on est remonté plus haut sur le chemin carrossable pour rejoindre le levada Nova et revenir au point de départ. Attention toute fois, le levada Nova est en grande partie non sécurisé. je déconseille donc cette randonnée accompagné d'enfants! il faut marcher sur le rebord en béton le long du levada, sans Barrière et au bord de précipice. si vous avez le vertige, cette randonnée n'est pas pour vous!
Christine B. on Barragem do Arade Circular
Great hike by the lake. No signage but followed on phone GPS. Groves of eucalyptus trees and budding foliage. Easy walk, would do again
Malheureusement le sentier est couvert d’ajoncs très piquant. Après 500 mètres contraint de rebrousser chemin.
Sans grosse difficulté le sentier est peu balisé. Beaucoup de vent. Agréables randonnée
Did this trail during January and although it was the best trail I’ve done so far, it was also the most dangerous. Expect to get wet as you’ll be walking across the river many times.
Very nice although short walk along the banks of the Vascao River. North side is a bio-diversity trail linking the two old mills. South side is a little wilder but easy to follow trail. Lots of birds in this area especially grouse. One problem is at the time of year I walked the path it is not a circular route. Could not cross the river at Molina do Alferes. Perhaps in summer when water levels are lower this is possible.
I would not recommend this hike. Only because of the part which runs through a very neglected farm, with dead or dying Cork Oaks. The views of Sines, an ugly industrial area, don't add to it either. There are definitely more beautiful walks than this.
Unfortunately cannot walk the entire length as the winery at @3 kms. has shut and locked their gate. Large sign states private property and such. If wish to enter you will have to climb over a wall. However, there is a bio-diversity trail with signage helping to explain the flora. A spring/summer walk when the wild flowers are out would be brilliant.
Trail can be divided into 3 sections...steep downhill and a steep uphill. Either on wide trail or road. The other third of the trail is following along the river. A little more challenging as the jumbled rock can be slippery to step on. At times patience is needed.to find marker posts. A nice short hike which does not take 3 hours for a moderate hiker. Although on a sunny day, taking lunch and sunny on the rocks by the river would make for a lovely day.
Trilho do Tejo (zona da Póvoa de Sta Iria). Em muito bom estado que corre sempre junto ao Tejo, com paisagem de rio, mouchões e sapais de grande beleza e serenidade.
Randonnée très jolie . Attention très glissant !!! Nous avons du traversé deux rivières dont une où le débit est fort car journée pluvieuse .. Vous n'êtes pas à l'abris de devoir traverser pieds nus .
Easy, flat and some nice little “lakes” at the end, but overall very boring walk with no views. Sorry :)
January 6th 2020 - the trail is closed
We went on cloudy day, so I can’t tell about the view. It’s better to wear long pants and sleeves.
Watch your head in the tunnels. Except this, easy and nice trail along levada
Very enjoyable trail in winter with kids. Wide variety of landscapes and trees, particularly along the valley leading up to the reservoir. Mostly unshaded and perfect for a cold sunny day. Very easy to walk. Lovely picnic spots along the valley.
enjoyed it ever second I walked this trail
This was not the hike I had thought it would be. While the hike was easy, it provided next to no viewpoints and the ones there were all provided a view on the same subject. The waterfall was not worth the trip. If you decide to do this hike, make sure to do the Caldeirao do Inferno. The Inferno trail is much more exciting, it has better views and longer tunnels.
More moderate than easy. Nice trail! You see the ocean most of the time, hear it, and in some point you follow a river and can even feel the ocean. We enjoyed it! In the end (well, middle, just before returning back) there is a nice restaurant. Not many options for vegetarians like us but still it was a nice break.
