Day 03

Route 2: Ferraria de São João - Gondramaz - Cerdeira (44 km)
Today's destination is Cerdeira, with a lot to discover along the way.
Take advantage of the passage through Gondramaz to get to know this peaceful village. Notable for the specific colour of the shale that surrounds us from head to toe, and where even the path on which we walk is an example of the best-handcrafted stonework. Here, artisans still create charming figures that are the hallmark of these mountains and bear the name of the master craftsman, taking the name of the village far beyond Portugal.
Overnight at Cerdeira.

Day 04

Route 3: Loop Cerdeira (32.9 km)
Today's Loop runs through several villages in one route. The villages of Talasnal, Chiqueiro and Casal Novo are the points of interest today, and exploring them represents immersing yourself in the magical world of the Serra da Lousã, with its splendid vegetation where deer, wild boars and many other species live, some of them rare and protected. Here, nature is sovereign!
Overnight at Cerdeira.

Day 05

Route 3: Loop Trevim (31.5 km)
An epic climb is today's challenge, intending to reach Alto de Trevim where, on days of good visibility, it is possible to see as far away as the Atlantic Ocean and even Alentejo! With the altitude rising, the landscape begins to change little by little. The vegetation is less exuberant, there are more clearings and the first wind farms appear, which will accompany us to the highest point. Here it is important to take a moment to admire the view and enjoy the fantastic Swing of Trevim, for the courageous ones.
