Trilho Interpretativo de Castro Laboreiro

Share Image

Castro Laboreiro Interpretation Trail is on the hillside that connects Castro Laboreiro village to the plateau and ends with the passage through the “veigas”, allowing you to understand the different and ingenious ways in which the population occupies and uses this territory. Oak woods, seminatural meadows (“lameiros”), riparian vegetation and the low shrubs of the plateau give diversity to the landscape, having at the background the relief of Peneda mountain. The trail has a shorter version (about 3 km).
