It is part of one of the first defense lines created to control the south access to Coimbra during the second half of the 11th Century. In 1124, an Islamic incursion took the castle and, according to ancient legend, during this period the castle was used by the Arab leader to protect his daughter Peralta and their treasures after having been defeated and expelled from Conimbriga. Hermitages - the Hermitage of Nossa Senhora da Piedade is located on the hill opposite to the Castle. It has four chapels; the oldest is S. João which was erected in the 15th Century. Considerable restoration work has been carried out and several annual pilgrimages and religious festivals now take place here. Hermitage Power Station - the Hermitage Hydroelectric power station, which is still operational, was built in 1927 to supply electricity to the village and to the paper mill. It is a living testimony of a past when Lousã was the epicenter of an intense industrial activity.Mountain villages – despite the 1950's human desertification, these villages are currently recovering and gaining new life thanks to a series of national and international programs. The houses are also being recovered by new owners from main urban centres, who are once again filling these homes with life. 223 m Lousã PR1 1 3 2 580 PR2 Rio Arouce Ribeira das Hortas Porto Ribeira da Fórnea PR2.1 PR2 6 Coimbra 5 4 6 23 This walk is mainly on the slopes of the Lousã mountains and links Lousã Castle and the sanctuary of “Nossa Senhora da Piedade” with two of the most emblematic Schist Villages of these mountains, Talasnal and Casal Novo. This walk takes you on a journey through time as well, as it retraces the paths of the former inhabitants of these mountain villages using the only access routes to the town of Lousã. Leaving the Castle towards the recommended direction, follow the access track that leads to the Ermida hydroelectric station. This is an example of industrial archeology built in 1927 to supply the town and the Prado paper factory with electricity. From here follow a steep and narrow path that snakes up the mountainside towards the Schist villages. The route is surrounded by dense vegetation all season long and the landscape is always stunning. Just before reaching the village of Talasnal there is an alternative route (PR2.1) which leads back to the Sanctuary and the river beach near the castle. We recomend this shorter route if you prefer a less demanding walk. It will take you across the slope overlooking the S. João stream from where you will get magnificent views of the village of Talasnal and of the Lousã valley. If you continue on the main route you will pass through the narrow streets of Talasnal and you will keep climbing up to Casal Novo. From here a steep descent takes you back to the Sanctuary, the river beach and then to the final section of the walk back to the castle.

Beware high temperatures in the summer and slippery terrain in the winter 2 The Lousã Mountains are the home of important communities of plants and wildlife both in terms of biodiversity and conservation, including species and habitats protected by National and International Directives. Of particular importance are the fescue, the daffodil, the ruivaco, the gold-striped salamander, Schreiber's green lizard, the black stork, Montagu's Harrier, the common kingfisher and the otter. Although most of the forest has species which have been introduced recently in forestry operations such as pine trees and eucalyptus, you can also still find areas with Mediterranean species such as the Holm oak, the Portuguese oak, the cork oak, the strawberry tree and aromatic herbs, in particular near the streams. As well as the common wildlife found in national mountainous areas, you may also see two species of deer, the leaf deer and the European roe deer. These animals were reintroduced to the area in 1996, and despite being timid and territorial, they are now established throughout the mountains.
