This small suspension bridge can be used together with the large suspension bridge Arouca 516 or the stone bridge in Espuinca for a shortened circular hike along the Paiva Walkway.

This small suspended walkway appears discreetly along the wooden path that leads to the imposing 516 Arouca bridge. Here, you cross the Paiva River in a more intimate and serene way, feeling the water flowing below while the sounds of nature surround you. A kind of charming appetizer before the great spectacle of the main crossing.

Gola do Salto is one of the most impressive waterfalls on the Paiva River — a narrow gorge where the river roars with force. It is located next to the Espiunca bridge, where a suspended viewpoint offers you a privileged view and a natural concert with the sound of the waters echoing beneath your feet. The walkway that follows this landscape makes the route comfortable and accessible, even on naturally rocky and uneven terrain.

It's a stunning spot to enjoy panoramic views of the Douro River and the Serra da Boneca. This viewpoint, along with the famous Baloiço da Boneca, offers a unique experience where you can swing against the beautiful backdrop of the Douro Valley.

After the forest fires on September 24, only the bridge is still open. Hopefully the repairs will go quickly.

Beautiful "wooden path" with impressive views. There are lots of stairs to climb up and down, especially the way back has to be taken into account, or halfway there at 2.5km (from the entrance) you can order a taxi from the nice guy. The suspension bridge is impressive... all in all a great experience with swimming opportunities to cool off... we were there at 39*. Part of the path is shaded.

It's now 4 years old, but the infrastructure hasn't developed any further, except for the snack bar when it opened... The toilets... They've seen better days. The rangers have to stand outside whatever the weather (it rained when we were there) and check that everyone has a valid ticket.
