Foz d'Égua - A Natural Haven in Serra do Açor

  • River & sea
  • Coimbra, Portugal
  • 4 stays within 35 km

Nestled near Piódão village, after an 8 km drive, lies Foz d'Égua, forming a picturesque spot with a dam creating a serene water mirror. The area's natural beauty is evident with two bridges, the proximity of two schist mills, an olive oil press, and rocks sculpted by the stream's flow, making it a favored tourist spot. The landscape around the water mirror is relatively gentle, a result of the confluence of streams. However, access paths are quite rugged, with steep terrain connecting the road to the beach via terraces navigated by small schist staircases.
