Description

From the Nature Classroom (Aula de la Naturaleza) the path ascends towards the village of Moreda. Next, the path turns and goes up the side of O Ucedo mountain, crossing the traditional constructions of Moreda Maior. The pastoral landscape and native forests constantly alternate along this route. Further on, on a stony ledge under the Monte do Cabeza do Couto, the route offers a magnificent panoramic view of the valley landscape.

Upon reaching 1,300-metres above sea level, we will find a crossroads with a short path that connects to the road towards Alto do Couto. This could be a good place to start the route for those who do not want to tackle the harder section.

From this point on, the journey is magical, first between conifers and then between a very dense native forest, which runs smoothly through the upper part of the Devesa da Rogueira. Before returning to the start, you will descend through the valley of the Rego da Rogueira channel. You must take the turning towards As Fontes do Cervo and the viewpoint of Pico Polín.
