Description
The trail begins near the Frossos Pillory in the village of
(Frossos), the former seat of the judicial district and municipality. This hiking trail
allows visitors to explore the Pateira de Frossos, a marshy area of former
rice paddies that form a mosaic-like agricultural complex, featuring
extremely diverse flora and fauna, as reflected in the high
number of bird and small mammal species that primarily use
the hedgerows. A very easy route with no significant elevation changes, which
leaves the village and continues to Boca do Carreiro Park (Frossos).
From here, the walking trail continues to Angeja.
It is
possible to continue on to Parque do Areal; the return trip follows the
same route. Picking up the trail at the previous point, the
hiking route follows trails and farm paths along the banks of the
Vouga River. Leaving the river behind and continuing along farm paths,
you’ll reach Boca do Carreiro Park. The final stretch back to the village is the same
as the initial one.
