Caminho do Xisto de Aldeia das Dez | Na Pegada do Ermitão

The “Na Pegada do Ermitão” hiking trail begins at Largo Alfredo Duarte, in Aldeia das Dez.

As you walk along the ancient Roman road and through the farmlands, you’ll feel as if you’re stepping back in time. Heading toward the Ponte das Três Entradas, you’ll pass through absolutely stunning areas dominated by chestnut trees.

After crossing the bridge—the only one of its kind in Portugal—head toward São Sebastião da Feira along a spectacular trail running alongside the banks of the Alva River.

The return trip follows the same route back to the Ponte das Três Entradas and from there along the paved road until you reach a trail leading to Aldeia das Dez.
