Rota da Azenha
PR7 MCD
Macedo de Cavaleiros
A difficult 11.4 km circular route (approx. 3h30) starting from Morais, in the heart of the Morais Site of Community Importance (Natura 2000 Network). The route crosses landscapes dominated by serpentinites — rare metamorphic rocks that create toxic soils with endemic flora found exclusively in this region, one of the only formations of this type in Portugal. The area is also home to the country's largest Iberian wolf population. A demanding hike with exceptional geological and natural value in the UNESCO Geopark Terras de Cavaleiros.
