Description

The path that surrounds and crosses Fraga de Vilapena runs through an area of great diversity in native vegetation. It begins before reaching the village, in a parking area that has an informative panel. Starting the journey to Vilapena, you will walk past the parish church, numerous granaries and old stone buildings.

The route leaves the prairies of the rural settlement and enters the forest plantations and dense native forest, ascending towards the fork and viewpoint of Pau Pico at 486 metres above sea level. After less than a kilometre, the route joins the PR-G 83. Going up a short hill, you will find a shelter in case of rain. The two trails continue to share their route for a large stretch.

Towards the end, the path returns to Fraga de Vilapena and heads towards the Vilaformán stream, once famous for its trout. If you choose to follow the shorter route, you will enter the interior of the fraga where vestiges of old coal bunkers can be found.
