Visiting the pedestrian route of the Forest and Biodiversity - Zoio

The walking path of the Forest and Biodiversity starts in Carrazedo and heads in the direction of Zoio. The first 700 meters coincide with the Carrazedo - Alimonde route. Soon after the beginning of the Biodiversity Station of Carrazedo, the routes separate and this one goes in the direction of the Site of the Pombeira, entering a wood of negral oak. You will pass the Florestal House of Pombeira and finish the forest, followed by agricultural paths to the village of Zoio. After visiting the village, take the direction of Martim, and when you reach Casa Florestal, return to Carrazedo by forest path.

Visit the Pedestrian Walk of Serra da Nogueira - Nogueira (Bragança)

The route starts in Sortes, next to the Mother Church, then taking the Tua Line in the direction of Remisquedo. When you reach the stop, follow the N15 to reach the tunnel that crosses the IP4. Once again on a rural road, the route goes to Cruzeiro das Almas. A few meters later, we pass by a dive fountain and we are in the center of the village. There is an opportunity to visit the Parish Church of Mós (baroque style), and a community Forge. The return to Sortes is in the direction of the Paçó de Sortes, passing in the vicinity of a quarry. When you leave the Paçó de Sortes, the route will once again cross the IP4, following rural roads until you return to the Tua line, which will take you back to Sortes.
Already in the final stretch, it passes through the building of the old railway station of Sortes (the second station of the Line of the Tua, in the sense Bragança - Tua), which was recently renovated and currently serves as the seat of Parish Council.

Visit the Pedestrian Trail of the Pombais - Macedo do Mato

The Pedestrian trail of the pombais begins in the width of the Parish of Macedo of the Mato, goes towards West until finding the Ribeira de Vale of Crasto, that accompanies downstream. When you reach a junction, take the left, then take the right path that climbs between the olive grove. At the next cut, descend to the Regato do Borteal, which we cross, rounding Cabeço da Barreira on the right and following in the direction of Sanceriz. When passing the center of the village you can see several diving sources, pigeons, the pillory and the Mother Church. A diversion to the Sanceriz watermill is also possible. At the exit of the village, head around Cabeço da Forca on the right, descending to Ribeira de Vilalva and following a rural road that accompanies this river to Frieira (upstream). As you cross the Romanesque bridge, another watermill, recently restored, appears to our left. Going forward, there is the chapel of S. João, the Mother Church and the pillory of Frieira.
When you get to the cruise, take the left path that leads the walker back to Macedo do Mato. Again we find Olival and Ribeira de Crasto Valley that we now follow upstream.
