Percurso Pedonal Póvoa de Santa Iria - Alverca do Ribatejo - Reserva Natural do Tejo
Rede de Percursos nas Áreas Protegidas
Continuous riverside pedestrian and cycling path, on walkways and dirt track about 17.5 km, but may be shorter if you enter or leave at different points. It promotes the enhancement of the Tagus Estuary and provides information about it, in particular on terrestrial and aquatic habitats, as well as indigenous species of flora and fauna in this estuarine ecosystem. Tagus Estuary stands out as a wintering area for waterfowl. Thus, the best time for your observation runs from mid-November to late March, when there will be fewer people on the route. This one allows you to discover the North of Tagus Estuary, enjoying the natural, urban and landscape regeneration of the riverside front, recovering a millenary connection of the population with the watercourse. You can visit the “Centro de Interpretação Ambiental e da Paisagem” (Center for Environmental and Landscape Interpretation) and the Museum Center) and Núcleo Museológico "A Póvoa e o Rio" ("A Póvoa e Rio" museum), walk or ride a bike, as well as combine leisure and sports using the spaces and equipment. *Honourable Mention in the Sustainable Cities category Green Projects Awards 2014; 1st Prize in the category Landscape and Public Spaces Archmarathon Awards 2015; 1st Prize Wan Landscape Award 2016.
