Circular route that shares an initial stretch with route 3 (red) and a final stretch with route 2 (blue). It passes through Sinde, Covelo, Carapinha, Meda de Mouros and Pinheiro de Coja, among others. It runs through rural roads, trails and single forested tracks bound by areas of pine, eucalyptus and agricultural production as well as the banks of the rivers Mondego and Alva. The passage through trails with steep slopes and more technical sections requires visitors to be in good physical condition. However, it all pays off when you reach areas of scenic interest, such as the Aguieira Reservoir Dam and the Ronqueira River Beach.

Author’s recommendation

Keep an eye out for areas of scenic interest, such as the Aguieira Reservoir Dam and the Ronqueira River Beach. Book your accommodation, experience and meal in Book in Xisto.

Tips and hints

Amidst mountain ranges (Estrela, Lousã, Buçaco and Caramulo), which give its terrain an accentuated plateau-like dimension, the municipality of Tábua is an open door to a region full of contrasts. Its plateau-like terrain hides a dense network of valleys opened by rivers and streams, giving the landscape a unique beauty and the possibility of visiting various places of interest, such as Pedra da Sé, Penedo Cabana or the various mills that extend along the bed of the rivers that cross it, such as the Mondego and the Alva.

On the other hand, it presents a vast architectural heritage consisting of pillories, manor houses, buildings of worship and other buildings where granite reigns, as well as a rich archaeological heritage and traces of Roman civilization. As far as food is concerned, cheese, roast kid, chanfana (roast kid), buxo and the excellent maize bread stand out, all paired with a Dão wine.
