Peaceful walking and cycling

Parque Natural da Serra de Sao Mamede provides a perfect low-traffic environment for a nice walk or bicycle ride through the astonishing landscape. See our collection of walking and cycling routes.
Explore Anta’s and Menhirs, castle villages, lakes and rivers, remote and almost desolate border hamlets.Stop at local restaurants and bars for refreshments and meals. You’ll pass old cork oaks, stone oaks, olive groves mixed with all kinds of fruit trees and of course the herds of sheeps and cows (hear their bells) in a rocky environment. Enjoy the rich flora and fauna in this microclimate. Be aware that the landscape is quite hilly, especially when visiting the castle villages of Marvao (at an altitude of 800m) and Castelo the Vide (600 m) – our estate lies on an altitude of 400 meter. However the small town of Beira is an almost flat walk right from our kiosk. An electric bike is recommended for those who like a relaxed touring experience. But the landscape is also perfect for those who like a challenge, running or (mountain)biking.

At kiosk Amsterdao you’ll find a collection of routes. Or just start walking and explore the countryside by yourself, following your own senses. Follow the unpaved paths that lead to old hamlets with central fountains and washing facilities.
