Ecopista do Dão

The Dão Greenway follows the route of the former Dão Railway Line, which has been transformed into a walking and cycling path connecting Santa Comba Dão, Tondela and Viseu. Along the way, former railway halts, stations and bridges recall the history of the line, while the landscape alternates between oak woods, chestnut groves, cork oak trees, vineyards and cultivated fields.

The route follows the Dão and Pavia rivers and, around Tondela, the Dinha River, offering different views over the valleys and hillsides of the region. The Granjal Bridge stands out for its views over the Dão River and the Aguieira Reservoir. Elsewhere, the Caramulo and Estrela mountain ranges define the horizon, framing a journey through the natural landscapes and railway heritage of inland Portugal.
