Hiking Trails.

The Serra da Estrela is the only region in Portugal to boast a network of marked routes, which cover the whole of the Natural Park. There are three main trails.
Each of these trails takes between three to four days to complete; they are considered overall to be moderately difficult to difficult walking, as there are some steep climbs involved and long distances.
But if you want to follow a trail for only one day, starting and ending at the same place, we have two described routes for you: The Manteigas-walk starts at the pousada near Manteigas, by following a part of one of the main trails and than making a wonder fool loop around the plateau by returning via another main trail, which leads you trough the Vale do Rossim on the way back. The Azinheira-walk is in a forgotten corner of the park on the bank of the Beijames River. This beautiful watershed is lined with traditional stone and wood houses, built in a loosely common architectural style that melds perfectly with its surroundings. There's a circular walk around the valley, which goes up to the waterfalls of Poço do Inferno and to the peak of Azinheira (1035m).
