Visit the pedestrian route of the Quercus - Sendas

The pedestrian path of the Quercus, part of the center of the town of Sendas to Vila Franca, taking the forest path that goes around the Monte do Gato and descends to the Tua Line. When you reach the old stop of Vila Franca, take the path from the right to the center of the village. Then it goes to Fermentãos, by a parallel road to the old line of railroad. At the exit of the village we cross the Roman bridge over the Ribeira de Sendas, then take the left path that accompanies the stream to the south. It climbs to the highest point of the route, at 873 meters and appreciates the landscape to the places already visited. The descent to Sendas is always done by forest paths.
Shortly after crossing the river, you reach an extension where you can choose to continue the walk to Cabeço Pelado and visit a waterfall or return to the starting point.
If you opt for the main road, go back over the river, continuing along that bank, for about 3km. Cross the river again and it is already in the final phase of the route that a small detour (250m) to visit the waterfall, known as Caldeira de Piones.
