Vereda do Urzal
OpenLast checked October 26, 2026
The old link out of the Curral das Freiras valley to Lombo do Urzal, 10.6 km and four and a half hours. The route drops from 1450 m to 519 m, so nearly all the height loss falls in one direction. IFCN grades it medium, and there is nowhere to break the walk in between.
