PR10 ACN PMS - Rota de Minde

From the historic centre to the polje: a journey through the charms of Minde

This approximately 7.5 km circular trail begins at the Parish Church of Nossa Senhora da Assunção. It takes hikers through iconic landmarks of the village, including the Altopina neighborhood, Largo do Coreto, the Chapel of Santo António, and the Roque Gameiro Watercolour Museum. The main attraction is undoubtedly the Minde-Mira polje, an impressive karst depression classified as a RAMSAR Site. This natural phenomenon, also known as the "Sea of Minde", features a unique landscape that changes throughout the year, with flooded areas in winter and green fields in spring. The route also offers the opportunity to visit caves such as Gruta do Regatinho and Gruta do Poio, as well as to enjoy the local biodiversity.
