Vereda do Chão dos Louros

OpenLast checked October 26, 2026

A circular walk in the Chão dos Louros forest park near Encumeada, 1.9 km back to where it started. IFCN grades it easy and allows 45 minutes, between 890 m and 830 m. Being a loop it needs no transport at the far end, which makes it one of the simplest walks on the list.

Figures as IFCN publishes them on the trail's own page. A row is missing where the official sheet does not state it, and IFCN publishes no cumulative elevation gain for any route.
