Wir sind gelaufen von Areinho (kostenloser Parkplatz mit Imbiss, Toilette, guter Kaffee) bis Espiunca. Nach wenigen Minuten kommt man an die 535 Stufen aufwärts. Ich bin 55, habe nie Sport gemacht, musste immer Pausen einlegen, aber es ging recht gut ohne Schweiß am 19. März 2024, 20° Sonne-Wolkenmix. Danach läuft man noch ein paarhundert Meter und man kommt an die Stelle wo die Tickets gescannt werden, diese können nur online erworben werden zu vorgegebenen Uhrzeiten. Wir brauchten 45 Minuten bis zum Ticketschalter. Dann waren es noch ca. 150 m bis zur Brücke, sie hat auch am Anfang und Ende eine Steigung, die einem am Anfang runter gar nicht so bewusst ist, aber am Ende hoch sich doch bemerkbar macht. Den weiteren Wanderweg nach der Brücke durften wir nicht betreten (vielleicht ist dies in der Saison anders), wir mußten die Brücke nochmal zurücklaufen. Dann gings weiter berghoch eine zeitlang, danach lange flache Abschnitte und immer wieder viele Treppen runter. Einige Wasserfälle unterwegs und auf der ganzen Strecke das Rauschen des Paiva, sehr schöne Landschaft, viele Eukalyptusbäume, Raubvögel, unbekannte Wasservögel. Gegen Ende wieder ein paar steile Abschnlitte. Zwischendurch sind immer Zahlen, die zeigen wieviel km man noch zu laufen hat, gesamt waren es ca. 9 km. Am Ende in Espiunca dann noch ca. 150 m bis zum Taxiplatz, ist keins da, steht da auch ganz groß eine Telefonnummer. Rückfahrt nach Areinho kostete 17 Euro. Es gibt auch Eingänge mit denen man die vielen Treppen hoch auslassen kann oder aber die vielen Treppen hoch viel später kommen, man sollte diese am Anfang gehen. Ticket für die Brücke hat 12 Euro gekostet, da sind die Wanderwege mit drin. Wanderwege ohne Brücke 2 Euro. Ich empfehle diese Tour von Areinho nach Espiunca wenn man sich etwas anstrengen will, aber nicht im Sommer. Mietwagen hat mit Komplettschutz und Vollkasko 12 Euro am Tag gekostet, bei Tourenanbieter zahlt man 60 E aufwärts pro Person ohne Verpflegung und ist zeitlich...

Beautiful hike in the Arouca Geopark, UNESCO geological park. You can walk only one way if you wan, there are taxis at each end. You can start the hike in Areinho or Espiuca, but if you start from Areinho it's easier so you only go down the famous stairs.

If you want (but not mandatory for the hike) you can cross the 516 Arouca bridge, which is the second longest suspended footbridge in the world (definitely worth it!).

At the middle of the hike there are some toilets you can use, if you go during summer you can take a swim at certain points in the river and you might be able to see some free animals around.

I loved it, I hope...

Passadiços do Pica; Started in Espiunca where there is enough (free) parking space and toilets. Then started the route with our online tickets 2€ per person only available with credit card. You can also buy them at the start but then the price is 4€. The route was very straight forward, half way there is a bar/cafe @4km also there are toiletd. Last part has a lot of stairs thats why we started in Espiunca to have an easier way back. On both sides there are cabs/jeeps available for +-16€ they will bring you back to the starting point, we walked back, pretty easy when you are a normal hiker. Took us 3...

Well, this is one to repeat soon. There is a lot to enjoy and I only go through half the course, In part because of a "wardrobe malfunction" (my sneakers were destroyed - make sure yours are in good working conditions as the course can be rough at times). There aren't many support areas so, be sure to bring plenty water, food and go to the bathroom before starting. Plan your course ahead as you may want to park in one end and take a cab and start at other - the course is around 8.5km/2:30min for each side. There are plenty of shade (depending time of day/year, I guess), but take into account your heat endurance!
