The swings of Serra da Lousã
The Serra da Lousã is about 40 km from the center of Coimbra. It is simply incredible and deserves more than one visit! Not only do you get a beautiful view you'll be surprised by everything this mountain range has to offer! There are swings, castles, schist villages and many other amazing and many other surprising things. But calm down, there's so much that in this text we can only talk about one of them: the swings.
Today I invite you to a brutal adventure. Have you ever imagined yourself swinging through the clouds? Well, it's possible in the Serra da Lousã.
A swing at the highest point of Serra da Lousã
Let's start from and you won't regret this magical journey. Let's go?
How about
incredible sensation of throwing yourself into the clouds? On a beautiful
swing that invites you to say "SENTE", playing with
the verb to feel and to sit, which by the way are closely linked
on this occasion, because when you sit down, you'll have a brutal experience!
The sensation of going into the sun, playing with the clouds and even
if you go to the sunset, to feel the stars.
Ah!
sunset from there is unimaginable. That huge ball of
ball of fire descends and gives way to countless colors. The sky
and the swing becomes even more enjoyable! It feels like you're
the sun, and if you stretch out your hand a little more, you can touch it.
touch it, at the same time as it says goodbye, giving way to the stars.
This feeling is not not for nothing. The swing is 1200 meters high, at the highest point of the Serra da Lousã, more precisely at Alto de Trevim. O access to this swing is not the easiest. by car. But there are many surprises along the way. For example for example: the schist villages! But I'll leave those for another post.
Magical illuminated swing
Now let's take a look at another eye-catching swing, this time at a lower altitude, or rather so low that it's above the water. At the Nossa Senhora da Piedade swimming pool in Burgo.
At first I thought it would just be another swing on the water. What could be more special than Trevim's swing? And when I arrived it was just WOW!
I suggest you go to this swing at dusk, because that's when the magic happens!
The swing is all lit up and at night its reflection in the water mirror transforms the scene into something out of a fairy tale. It's simply beautiful!
I was completely enchanted by the secrets of the Serra da Lousã. I didn't know that Coimbra could be even more enchanting.
Without a doubt
Serra da Lousã deserves much more than a visit. Maybe a whole
weekend to go to Lousã Castle, the Pedra da
Waterfall or one of the twelve Schist Villages there.
