The last five kilometres of the ecotrail, with a surface that is still in good condition, allow entry into the upper portion of Terras de Basto, for this reason called Cabeceiras (headlands) – a little Minho, a challenging and fertile land, where the gentle slopes of the hills give way to the impressive mountain barriers of the Cabreira Mountains. The Tâmega Ecotrail ends there, next to the village of Arco de Baúlhe, at the old station by the same name, now a pole for the Terras de Basto Museum and the Portuguese Railway Museum, which has a valuable collection.
