mailto:?subject=Content from Tourism of Galicia: PR-G 208 RUTA DAS REIGADAS&body=I recommend you read the information PR-G 208 RUTA DAS REIGADAS extracted from the Tourism of Galicia site on page https://www.turismo.gal/recurso/-/detalle/200525000148/pr-g-208-ruta-das-reigadas?ctre=23%26langId=en_US%26tp=6
The route follows fishing paths along the Rego de Bounote, which becomes Rego das Reigadas after joining the Rego do Bidueiro stream. The route is located in the Biosphere Reserve created by Unesco in 2007.
From Barreiros, a place of wide meadows, the trail begins a steep descent to the bottom of the valley, where it runs along the Rego do Mazo de Barreiros. The forest that surrounds the area is in a very good state of conservation and contains some centuries-old specimens of oak, chestnut, holly and hazelnut trees.
When you reach the Pozo da Chamosa waterfall, you will end up in the leafy Rego de Bounote. Going downhill, you will go past the Paradela bridge, the Encrucilladas wooden bridge and, a little further on, the As Reigadas mill and waterfall.
Along the route, you will see a multitude of bridges, traditional ouriceiras for storing chestnut husks and mills. The path ends next to the magnificent remains of the Bogo Ironworks.
You can access the route by travelling south from A Pontenova on local roads to Barreiros.
BOGO IRONWORKS
This spectacular smithy, located in the parish of San Pedro de Bogo, uses the hydraulic force of the Reigadas River. It was founded by nobleman Pedro de Miranda to take advantage of his properties’ iron wealth. It worked from 1534 until the end of the 18th century, when a fire left it ruined. It has recently been partially restored.
