The "Serra da Lousã" is a magnificent mountain range located between the towns of Lousã by North and Castanheira da Pera by south. There are countless trails on both sides of the mountain slope, for example from the North starting at the Lousã castle you can head up the mountains through dense woodland and water canals which ultimately end up to a number of "schist villages". By starting at the romantic town of Coentral several trails lead up to the very top the mountain at Sto. Antonio das Neves/Trevim situated at an altitude of 1200m. Some of these trails run along the river "Ribeira das Quelhas" with its several divine ponds and waterfalls makes for a remarkable experience as the nature changes swiftly with every meter gained in altitude.
