Marked circular route following PR5 CLD – Rota de Alvorninha

The route starts and ends at the Alvorninha Sports pavilion (Caldas da Rainha). It descends towards the dam and its respective stream, to a circular trail through a forest of cork oaks, pines and eucalyptus trees. Once back at the dam there is a choice to return by the same route to the parking lot, or scramble up a small cliff that descends into the parking lot.

A circular walk up to the ridge above Alfeizerão.

The walk follows the valley of the Ribeira de Alfeizerão, and then up to the ridge above to join the road through Casal Pardo. The walk descends through a track to the start point. There is a mix of grass paths, farm tracks and quiet roads.

The walk is overgrown in some places, although easily passable. Dog owners need to take care as their dogs may receive some unwanted visitors, e.g. ticks and mosquitoes

This is a walk to show the many faces of Foz nature

The walk starts inland by the former discoteca, and goes east on a dirt road. Then into trails along a small creek, in ‘tunnels’ of trees. Then we go west all the way to the sea, and following the cliffs with some ‘good’ ups and downs with nice views to the miradoura in Foz. Bring poles, sun protection and strong legs.

This is a moderate hike south of Óbidos

The walk begins by hugging the northern castle wall. Take a moment to listen to all the birds as we descend to the railroad tracks (no pedestrian crossing – cross at your own risk !) and fertile farmland. Here we join the Capela de Santo André and Antão trails: a long flatland that turns to forests , vineyards and orchards before ascending to the chapel ruins. The last push is back up to the castle where you’ve earned your lunch at your favourite Óbidos café.

Notes

  • Walk leaders: Amelie and Patricia

Short walk between Chiqueda and Lameira on the southern outskirts of Alcobaça

The walk starts at the “Nascente” or head of the Rio Alcoa then follows a path through a wooded limestone gorge with some interesting geological features. At about the midway stage there is an uphill stretch on a country road, then through a quiet village before heading back cross country along the side of the valley and downhill to the cars. The walk can be slippery in places, especially after rain, so good footwear and walking poles (for those that need them) are recommended.
