Mizarela’s water fall in Freita mountain

The Serra da Freita is part of the Gralheira mountain range, alongside serra da Arada (1057 m) and serra do Arestal (830 m), with some peaks over 1000 m. high. In Serra da Freita you can find many interesting attractions like Mizarela’s water fall, the secular chapel of Our lady of Lage and the unique geological phenomenon of the Parideiras stones (Birthgiving stones), the archeological monument of Portela of Anta and some of the most typical villages of the region, such as Castanheira, Cabreiros and Cando. The Freita is a natural shelter for vegetal and animal species. You can enjoy the Caima river, born from multiple streams of crystalline water, which creates the Mizarela’s water fall, maybe the highest waterfalls in Portugal (60m)
