Embark on a scenic circular walking trail that winds through the picturesque villages of Piódão, Chãs de Égua, and Foz de Égua, surrounded by the serene valleys of the Égua and Piódão streams. This 12-kilometer route follows ancient pathways once used to connect these remote mountain communities, revealing a landscape filled with stone bridges, cobbled walkways, terraced fields, and rustic farm structures. As you walk, you’ll be immersed in the authentic charm of Portugal’s Schist Villages, where every turn tells a story of resilience, tradition, and timeless beauty.

Known as the “Land of the End of the World,” this region holds the spirit of isolation that shaped the lives of its inhabitants for centuries. Along the way, you’ll uncover fascinating legends, admire the distinctive schist architecture, and explore the Piódão Museum for deeper insight into local history and culture. The path includes some uneven terrain and moderate slopes, making it an invigorating yet rewarding journey through one of Portugal’s most enchanting rural landscapes.
