Penedo de Góis / Swing
Booking
Next to the Schist Village da Pena, we find the imposing Penedos de Góis, which reach 1040m in height at their highest point.
This stunning location features unique slopes, waterfalls, and rushing streams. Among them, the “Penedo Abelha” (“Bee Rock”) stands out, a name given by the locals who see in the rock the contours of a stone monster's face.
There are several trails that allow for the exploration of the Penedos' beauty and their magnificent surroundings, offering different levels of difficulty.
The most accessible route is the old path connecting Pena to the village of Povorais, providing an excellent aerial view over the village of Pena and the entire valley, as well as Trevim (the highest point of the Serra da Lousã).
The scenery is magnificent, allowing for views of the Beira landscape, including the Serra da Estrela, the Serra do Açor, and Trevim.
In the Penedos, a panoramic swing has been installed, so in the swing of life, we can use it like a childhood swing, thereby showcasing one of the best panoramic views of the region.
