Serra de Leomil

Located to the southwest of Moimenta da Beira, the hill grows between the Paiva and Távora rivers and belongs to the Galician-Douro massif. It is 10 km long and reaches its peak at an altitude of 1011 metres. From the peak there are wonderful views of the Tedo, Paiva and Távora valleys, as well as the tops of the Marão, Estrela, Caramulo and Montemuro mountains. Once named Nave Hill, archaeological elements were found here, such as vestiges of roman roads, stones that indicate the presence of fortresses, mamoas and menhirs. The flora includes the pine trees, the Portuguese broom, the heather, the rosemary and more. The hills is filled with brooks, ruined mills and lovely landscapes, namely the places of Lobagueira, Redondelo, Furenho and Gondomar, and that of Nave, known for its farmlands, pastures and woods.
