A MIÑA VIAXE
mailto:?subject=Content from Tourism of Galicia: PR-G 229 RUTA CHAO DE POUSADOIRO - MUÍÑO DE GARCÍA&body=I recommend you read the information PR-G 229 RUTA CHAO DE POUSADOIRO - MUÍÑO DE GARCÍA extracted from the Tourism of Galicia site on page https://www.turismo.gal/recurso/-/detalle/200529000219/pr-g-229-ruta-chao-de-pousadoiro-muino-de-garcia?ctre=23%26langId=en_US%26tp=6
This path sets
off from the well-kept and beautiful river beach of O Chao de Pousadoiro, and
gently ascends along the left bank of the Eo river between riverside forests
and agricultural fields. In places where the Eo channel is narrow, the
vegetation becomes thicker and oak and other deciduous forests start to
surround the path.
After crossing
the mouths of the Salgueiro, Rendide and Castro tributaries, the narrow path,
often used by fishermen, reaches the suspension bridge of Colado de Lamas. This
route does not cross the river, but it is recommended that you cross the
walkway to enjoy the view.
The route ends
after crossing the Montefurado bridge. 50 metres into the route you will find
the Muíño de García mill, which is a recommended stop. Nearby are two tunnels
that transport water from the Rodil river, with one of these tunnels having
been used for gold mining in Roman times.
TIPS
Not recommended in times of rain, storms or river flooding.
You can reach the route from Lugo via the N-640 to Meira. Next, continue on the LU-751 in the direction of O Chao de Pousadoiro.
CHURCH OF SAN XOÁN DOS VAOS
Located just five kilometres from Muíño de García, this is an enigmatic place with an atmosphere of silence and solitude. This former priory of the Order of Saint John of Malta is one of the few temples in Galicia in which human skulls can be found as a decorative element, with five appearing embedded in the wall of the church atrium. There are several possible explanations for these skull decorations, but unfortunately its origin is simply another Middle Age enigma.
