Ponte Ferroviária de Vouzela - Ponte Ferroviária de Vouzela

Engineering work that distinguishes the landscape of the charming village of Vouzela

beautiful. We did the PR to the top of Senhora do Castelo, we started near the bridge. Very pleasant day.

A great itinerary to walk with the family, a very welcoming city

An old railway bridge that was transformed into a pedestrian bridge, either on foot or by bicycle, which is part of the cycle path of the city. This way you can turn something useful and scale it into a tourist attraction, where the views over Vouzela stand out. All its surroundings were dimensioned to your measure. It's worth a visit.

The history of the people of the interior is marked by their ability to move and access goods and services that are often non-existent in their place of life. For more than half a hundred, this Vouga line served the people from Aveiro to Viseu on a 177km route that since the beginning of the 21st century, 1914, connected the two district capitals: Aveiro Viseu. A road full of curved turns, bridges and aqueducts that today are disabled for rail use, much of the route has been transformed into a cycle lane, eco lane, and or footpath. Unfortunately, there are some parts that are normal road traffic, losing the integrity of the section. In Vouzela, as in many other municipalities, the line has a well-defined route, reformulated into an eco-track that connects the city center to the industrial area. Personally I prefer other sections that were a greater investment reaching a greater distance, namely the Sever do Vouga eco-track, a peach tree of Vouga that went from the mouth of the Mau river to Cedrim.... Passing by the emblematic bridge of the well of Santiago and the station from Paradela do Vouga. It is currently being enlarged, reconverted to charcoal. But returning to Vouzela, we have a real challenge that this land was able to give its old train line: its transformation into a bike path, as well as the creation of support spaces for the maintenance of bicycles and connections to trails that involve us in space and in time.
