THE ROUTE

Starting from the same starting point, participants can choose between two circular routes, adapted to different experience levels: an easy route, approximately 7 km long, ideal for a relaxed walk amidst nature, and a medium-level route, about 11 km long, for those seeking a slightly greater challenge. Both routes mostly follow dirt tracks and paths, with a short initial stretch on asphalt and brief crossings of paved roads, traversing a typically Ribatejo landscape marked by cork oak forests, pine forests, and agricultural fields. The longer route alternates between flat areas and gentle climbs, accumulating approximately 94 meters of positive elevation gain, culminating in a pleasant stretch along the Ribeira de Muge river, where rural paths and small trails, surrounded by riverside vegetation, provide an environment of great natural beauty and tranquility. An experience that invites you to discover the natural heritage and authenticity of the landscape, at each participant's own pace.

Pavement: mostly dirt and rural roads, with small stretches of asphalt and trails.
