The route

In this 3.5km course, which connects Janeiro de Cima e Janeiro de Baixo, the River Zêzere reaches all its splendour through the famous "curves" – the meanders of the Zêzere.

Janeiro de Baixo has two river beaches, called Praia do Fundo da Eira and Praia dos Areais da Barca. The first is more protected and calm, while the second is larger and pleasant.

Author’s recommendation

Visit the religious and architectural heritage in Janeiro de Baixo, including the “Trunk”.

Turn-by-turn directions

After reaching the top of the hill, the route takes a wider path and moves on almost parallel to the river. After 1 km, the GRZ goes on to paved road and is almost immediately met by GRAX-GR21.1, which will accompany it to Janeiro de Baixo. In the immediate vicinity of the road bridge, take the dirt road further ahead on a small section also common to PR4 PPS. Back on the road that will take you to Janeiro de Cima, along with two other routes, go around the campsite towards the river beach.
