Beschreibung
Vale Gonçalinho is located in the core of Castro Verde Special Protection Area, a treeless, man-made landscape, somehow resembling the true Russian Steppe, and home to a set of bird species that strictly depend on this habitat to thrive.
During early spring along, the walking trail, you can easly spot Rothuhn, Rötelfalke, Blauracke, Kalanderlerche and Zwergtrappe. Sandflughuhn can be found around the track, keep an eye for birds flying just over the horizon. Wiesenweihe and Spanischer Kaiseradler are also possible. On spring and early summer pay attention to ground dwelling passerines such as Kurzzehenlerche and Brachpieper.
During winter its possible to spot flocks of Kiebitz and Goldregenpfeifer, as well as large flocks of Feldlerche. It's also possible to see Merlin chasing small passerines.
Almost every rock piles scattered around this area is occupied by a Steinkauz, all year around.

Vale Gonçalinho is accessible by car, bike or simply by walking. The easiest way to get here, is to travel from Castro Verde, and take the old road (parallel to IP2) towards the village of Entradas (to the north). Keep following the road till you reach an intersection where a Großtrappe silhouette is placed. There is a parking place near the local Environmental Centre, by the end of the road. Click on the P in the map for directions. You can explore the area by walking the marked trail. The circular walk indicated on the map is about 3,5 km. You can get more details from the LPN (League for the protection of Nature) staff.

Since this is private land you're advised to stay on the marked trail, and close every gate you cross. On hot spring/summer days bring water, and avoid the hottest hours of the day (birds won't much active anyway).
Motorhomes are not allowed to spend the night (there are specific places in Castro Verde for that purpose).
