Trilho do Campo do Gerês ao Pé de Cabril
8.01 mi
+2,133 ft
-2,116 ft
10 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from Terras de Bouro (Braga District)
Whilst the ascent is straightforward, the return journey is difficult: the return path no longer exists, particularly from the point N 41.74552 O 8.16986 to the finish. It takes over 11 hours to complete the route. Progress is very difficult through the very prickly undergrowth, which causes scratches. Also be careful when following the cairns; there are many of them, but they mark different paths. It’s easy to take the wrong one...
In another region, with a well-maintained path, this walk would have been classified as easy, or even very easy.
Pincães Waterfall from Fafião
5.03 mi
+1,486 ft
-1,509 ft

Easy
Departure from Montalegre (Vila Real District)
It is possible to extend the circular loop, but be careful in hot weather. The beauty of the waterfall (and its coolness) may well make it worth stopping for a break. The fountain is absolutely magnificent and it is very pleasant to have a dip there.
