Trail Markers of Rocha da Pena

Highlight • Trail

Rarely have we hiked such a well marked path in Portugal. Be it little cairns, yellow-red markings or pointers - the path is perfectly marked. One is therefore hardly possible!

October 21, 2021,Panoramablick Süden – Rocha da Pena Runde von Penina

Except for the descent from the plateau, which was borderline for me (I had to go into reverse gear twice), it was a very nice tour. The two sides of the rock massif are completely different, we liked the densely overgrown north with a view of the barren plain better.
