Overview:
Discover the enchanted mountain! Hike across the plateau and breath taking trails of the iconic Serra da Freita, reaching over 1000 m in altitude. Interpret the main geological points of interest, (geossites of UNESCO protected area) such as lithological contacts or fold fields, or even the largest waterfall in mainland Portugal. Walk through the countryside and hear from the locals the explanation for almost spiritual phenomena, such as the “Birthing Stones,” and then enter the interpretive museum for a more technical explanation. In the end, enjoy a breathtaking view through a 360° panorama, at the Freita Weather Radar.
