Route Description

This short route is located in the parish of Felgueiras.

Starting near the Parish Council building, it heads south toward the Felgueiras Parish Church, turning left onto a well-defined rural path that crosses an area of chestnut trees. Once at a higher elevation, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the route, taking in the villages of Felgueiras, Pimeirol, and Beirós.

The route then descends the hillside toward Beirós. Upon reaching the paved road, it crosses the village and continues along a narrower rural path to the hamlet of Vinhais.

In this section, the route winds past several farms and crosses a larger property, easily identifiable by its blueberry fields.

At the base of the slope, follow the paved road to the intersection with the road connecting to Felgueiras, taking the narrow, cobblestone path that climbs the slope and crosses several areas of farmland and marshes. Further ahead, follow the paved road to the intersection with the M553, where you head toward Pimeirol, following along a ridge toward the south until you reach Felgueiras
