A loop trail that begins and ends in Serradela, with a length of approximately 10.5 km, easily manageable by visitors, featuring a climb with a significant elevation gain in its final section. Along the route, there are three springs—Fonte do Cortiço, Fonte da Pedra Escrita, and the spring at the Serradela picnic area. This is a trail that is quite exposed to both the sun and the wind.
