Climb the mountain and find the Santo António de Val de Poldros pasture, at an altitude of 1,113 metres, which is a nature reserve with its ‘cardenhas’ (wild boar) still intact, wild horses, foxes, wild boars, wild rabbits, partridges, eagles, etc. It is an ideal place for walks and picnics, but also for other outdoor activities such as cycling, canoeing and paragliding. Known as the “Hobbit Village” due to its similarity to the green landscapes of “The Lord of the Rings” saga, you can enjoy the profound silence as you stroll among a huge number of cardenhas, made entirely of granite and schist in a rudimentary style.
