Veado Verde / Green Deer utmanar dig att leva en upplevelse i Lousa Mountain. Följ med oss och besök de vackra och pittoreska Schist Villages i Lousa Mountain. Vi kommer att passera genom skogar av tallar, kastanjeträd, ekar och bokar där vi kan hitta rådjur, vildsvin, rävar och ekorrar. Det är en underbar och givande upplevelse som inkluderar offroadaktiviteter, vandring och att besöka skifferbyarna. Det är en 4 timmars tur (eller 8 timmars tur) med Coimbra som upphämtningsplats. Gör dig redo, skönheten i detta berg kommer att lämna dig förvånad!
Cerdeira är en magisk plats. Vid ingången till byn leder en liten bro oss till en handfull hus som kikar genom lövverket. Det verkar som om vi passerar portalen till en fantasivärld. Allt verkar perfekt i denna djupt romantiska miljö. Skifferbanan pekar vägen mot en källa som är gömd bland frodig vegetation. Mellan branta sluttningar hyrs av vattendrag som trumlar ner från högre upp, ligger Cerdeira inbäddat i det mest livliga omgivningen. Detta är en by som konst och kreativitet har bidragit till att återfå. På vissa tider på året blir byn levande med händelser som kombinerar konst och botanik.
Med fördel från den enkla tillgången från National Highway, anses Candal i allmänhet vara den mest utvecklade av bergsbyarna och är en av de mest besökta. Dess invånare är vana med att få besök av semester- och helgbesökare som flockar hit på jakt efter ren luft och gott sällskap.
Här härskar naturen. Under lång tid är detta Schist Village på Lousã-berget som har lånat ut mest synlighet och charm på grund av de många detaljerna i restaureringen av sina hus. Och också förresten byn förför oss genom munnen.
När vi passerar den olagda vägen rymmer närvaron av Casal Novo oss nästan. Byn ligger i en vik på den brant sluttande, norrläge sluttningen och skogen kring byn döljer dess kontur.
Gondramaz är en helt återställd skifferby med cirka 50 hus där det finns en turistort och där vi ska ta en kaffe.
Cadaval Cimeiro och Cadaval Fundeiro är två övergivna skifferbyar som brände två gånger på 1980-talet. Där vandrar vi mellan de två.
Aigra Velha är den högsta höjden Schist Village (770 meter), inte långt från topparna på Lousã-berget, men lätt att komma till. Det är en liten plats, men en med breda horisonter. Landskapet som omger byn gör hela skillnaden. Här är allt enkelt och gjort efter den naturliga cykeln i naturen som finns runt omkring oss. * - Endast heldagstur.
med sin enkla plan med lågskissbyggnader består Aigra Nova av tre små gator som korsar byn. Våren och det milda klimatet gynnar jordbruk och breda betesmarker. I denna levande by finns det marknadsträdgårdar, boskap, åsnor och många aktiviteter som kommer att överraska besökaren. * - Endast heldagstur.
Denna by är det perfekta resultatet av konstruktionen i en kombination av schist och kvartsit. En hundra år gammal kastanj bevakar ingången till byn. * - Endast heldagstur. Den lokala topografin dikterade att byn utvecklades längs en odling, vilket gjorde att det verkar som om husen trotsar jämviktslagarna och tyngdkraften. Byn Pena drar full nytta av strömmens kristallklara vatten. Vid sidan av den erbjuder Penedos de Góis äventyr för vågen.
Vi hämtar från de flesta av hotellen i centrala Coimbra, Lousã, Miranda do Corvo, Condeixa-a-Nova och Penela om parkering finns. Vi hämtar kunder mot en extra avgift (10 €...20 €) och även från andra platser.

This is a unique experience. The villages are amazing to wander through, and the history provided by Alfredo gave it meaning and context. This was a highlight of my trip to Portugal.
Thank you for your nice review. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing this tour with you!
We booked this tour last minute during our visit to Coimbra and could not have been more pleased with everything! Alfredo was such a wonderful tour guide. His genuine love for the area and nature made our trip so enjoyable. The shiest villages are amazing hidden gems. All of our stops include fun little art or coffee shops. Gelato and Chestnut liqueur are a must! Do not hesitate to book a tour today!!!
Thank you for your nice review. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing this tour with you!
Meeting place was central and easy to find. Alfredo was friendly and knowledgeable; he made suggestions at the village restaurant to try the local Chestnut treats and liquor and it was fantastic! The village views shouldn't be missed! It was a great trip and I was very satisfied.

Gorgeous landscapes up in the mountains near Coimbra! Alfredo was an informed and pleasant guide who drove us the whole way, talking to us about the land, people, recent fire, how the villages are being transformed, etc. Definitely wear good outdoor shoes (not sandals) to climb all the staircases (as many or little as you want) to explore the winding pathways of the villages. We stopped in a little cafe up there, also at an artists shoppe, and were completely on time of four hours. Excellent pictures taken and a reprieve from the museums, buildings, traffic, tourists in town. Lovely!

The experience visiting the schist villages was incredible. What a spectacular day. Each of the 3 villages we visited was a little different so we got a good variety. Our guide, Alfredo, was delightful and full of local knowledge to help us understand the area and the history of the villages.

We had an enjoyable morning touring the Schist Villages with our guide Alfredo. Alfredo was very knowledgeable about the region and its history. He was also good navigating the steep and windy roads! The villages are stunning and a look into how past peoples lived and of course many of the cottages are being restored and are able to be rented. We stopped at our final village and ordered espresso and the local liquor before heading back to Coimbra. Fun morning!

What an absolutely AMAZING day exploring the Schist Villages! 🏡✨ I had the most wonderful guide, Veado Verde - incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly, and genuinely passionate about the region. He shared so many fascinating stories, history, and local insights that I never would have discovered on my own. But what made it truly special was how personalized everything felt. It honestly seemed like the entire tour was customized just for me, at my pace and based on what I was most interested in. The villages themselves are stunning, peaceful, and full of character — like stepping back in time. I’m so grateful for such a memorable experience and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. A perfect day from start to finish! 💛
Thank you for your nice review and recommendation. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing this tour with you!
Alfredo offered us a rich history and the current activity of the Schist villages and gave us time to explore each one at our own pace over the course of the morning and afternoon. We vicariously enjoyed his warm connection with people wherever we went. It was good to stop for a local snack and lunch together. Alfredo is also skilled in spotting wild animals. The area is so beautiful and we were happy that he was doing the driving and not us!
Thank you for your nice review. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing this tour with you!
Very unique experience with a knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend the 1/2 day experience for anyone with time to explore the region in more depth.
Thank you for your nice review and recommendation. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing this tour with you!
We loved our Schist Village tour with Alfredo. It was such an interesting day learning of all the history here. Learning that they are trying to restore these historical buildings made us happy to hear. If you want to visit somewhere other than the typical tourist areas and like to see and feel history, this is the tour you are looking for. Make sure you wear sturdy walking shoes, you’ll be traveling the paths generations from the past built.
