Wandern in Portugal

Vom Wanderparadies Quinta do Pomarinho im Alto Alentejo Portugal aus kann man wunderbar wandern. Die Quinta bietet einen fantastischen Blick auf die angrenzenden Hügel des Naturparks Serra de São Mamede, wo Sie ungewöhnliche Vögel, Tiere und Pflanzen finden. Im Naturpark und in der Umgebung des Parks können Sie wunderschöne Wanderungen unternehmen, bei denen Sie neben einer überwältigenden Natur auch Burgen, Klöster, historische Dörfer, befestigte Städte, Dolmen, Felszeichnungen und Überreste aus der Römerzeit finden. Auf der Quinta halten wir rund dreißig (beschriebene) Wanderrouten für Sie bereit. Dies sind meist markierte Wanderwege mit einer Länge von wenigen bis zu 18 Kilometern. Die Quinta selbst bietet eine Oase des Raumes, der Privatsphäre und der Ruhe und ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für individuelle Spaziergänge: allein, zusammen, mit Ihrer Familie oder mit Ihrem eigenen (Wander-) Club.

8 oder 12 Tage gemütliches Wandern in wunderschöner Umgebung

Walking in the Portuguese nature park

During hiking during the autumn or winter holidays you will stay at Quinta do Pomarinho: an oasis of tranquility in a natural environment. The quinta is located in Alto Alentejo, at the foot of the Serra de São Mamede Natural Park. The area is known for its beautiful flora and fauna that you can discover while hiking in October or december. Every season has its charm! There are more than 25 marked hiking trails around the Quinta with a natural campsite.

Walking in Portugal during the autumn or winter holidays is a special experience. During the walking tours you walk in the middle of nature, past almond trees, cork and stone oak. Nature smells wonderful and everywhere you see and hear birds. While walking in the autumn or winter holidays you will discover smuggling paths and roads over the hills of the Alentejo and you will make stops in medieval settlement towns such as Castelo de Vide. October en december are suitable times for walking: it is wonderfully pleasant walking weather and in oktober it is often possible to swim.

Group tours, and therefore also our walking group tours, often attract a colorful group of like-minded people. You will find other hikers, nature lovers, bird watchers and peace seekers. People who like to exchange experiences and stories during the walks or afterwards during or after dinner. Of course there is also enough room for privacy for those who wish.

The walking holiday program is compiled with care. If desired, the program can be adjusted to the wishes and level of the participants. Walking in the autumn or in the winter holidays means a beautiful and varied program with regard to the length of the walking tours, culture and nature. The layout of the 8-day walking holiday is as follows: 3 walking days – 1 rest day – 2 walking days. The layout of the 12-day walking holiday is as follows: 3 walking days – 1 rest day – 3 walking days – 1 rest day – 2 walking days.
