In the county of Albergaria-a-Velha, district of Aveiro, we find an extremely beautiful and diverse trail, the three river trail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail, which extends for about 14.5 km in circuit, follows, as its name indicates, three rivers: the Caima River (Rio Caima, born in Serra da Freita), the Little River (Pequeno Rio) and the F\u00edlveda River (Rio F\u00edlveda, you can consult the brochure of the route here<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O percurso foi reaberto em 2020 ap\u00f3s uns merecidos arranjos e, conhecendo j\u00e1 a beleza deste percurso, tivemos de o ir percorrer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para iniciar o Trilho dos Tr\u00eas Rios, deixamos o carro no Vilarinho de S\u00e3o Roque. Um problema aqui \u00e9 o facto de n\u00e3o haver nenhum estacionamento – existe sim uma rua larga que permite deixar o carro, mas n\u00e3o um lugar definido para estacionamento.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving the car on the main road, we see two signs for the route: one indicates \u201cCenter for Radical and Environmental Activities of Vilarinho de S. Roque\u201d and follows a road uphill, the other indicates the Chapel through a downhill road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We chose to follow the indication on the information leaflet and start with the climb - and thankfully we did. This is because the route, both for its length and the type of terrain, is quite complicated and tiring. And the most difficult moment is right from the start: the first 2 km of the route, in addition to always being uphill, are also covered in the middle of the pine forest, being extremely tiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this initial part there is a possible detour to visit Cabe\u00e7o dos Mouros. However, knowing what we still had ahead of us, and since it was still a long detour, we chose not to visit it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
