Beskrivning
A long cycle route starts here but of more interest to birdwatchers is the convenient c4-5 km circular walk through pine woods to a ridge and back down to the main track. The woodlands hold bergsångare and tofsmes, open areas have klippsparv, häcksparv and trädlärka and the low scrub a variety of ‘Sylvia’ warblers such as törnsångare, sammetshätta and provencesångare. As with all footpaths beside the A 381 this is a good location to look for raptors particularly in spring and autumn when dvärgörn, Brun glada, Bivråk and the odd smutsgam (plus svart stork) pass through. ormörn (spring-autumn), gåsgam , sparvhök and ormvråk frequently appear but if you're lucky you may spot hökörn or duvhök here. During passage periods expect biätare and pretty much any small passerine migrant.

NejExtra information
The tracks here provide a variety of 'pan handle' walks from 4 km upwards allowing you to tailor your walk to your individual requirements most of the walks are fairly easy but there are several steep sections. Look out for various orchid species and the local Portuguese Sundew (Drosophyllum lusitanicum) which, unlike sundews in northern Europe, has attractive pale yellow flower making it easy to locate.
