    A very nice walk in the forest listening to nature and nothing else! Plenty of trails to walk and to do jogging under and through the forest canopy. Lots of benches to sit and relax in the middle of the forest! A very nice café in the middle of the forest for a sit down to have a café or a cold beverage! Very friendly staff!

    Very good place for a walk, run or whatever sport you fancy! Lots of space for multiple activities. Worth visiting both in summer and winter.

    Very relaxing, perfect for nature lovers. It's not huge but it's not small either. You might find yourself walking for some time, especially if you're slowly just trying to observe and feel your surroundings. There's also an exercise spot with space for calisthenics, basketball, and others.

    A nice and calm forest to walk through on sunny days. Offers great places for picnics or doing sports while also having a little shop for ice cream or snacks and is also pretty close to the town.

    I went on a long, 9km hike through this beautiful park just outside of Santa Clara. The day was very warm, but under the giant tree canopy, it was nice and cool. Trails lead past the Mondego River, a canal, and a small pond. There was some traffic noise near the roads, but further away, it was quiet. There is a small cafe near the front with picnic tables and a nice play area for the children. One of the trails is an exercise course. People were walking, jogging, biking, and possibly riding horses. This park has it all!

    Park area along the Mondego river in Coimbra. Nice place for jogging and walking. Currently (January 2019) is still closed for public, after the tropical storm Leslie hit the Iberian peninsula in October 2018. Some consequences of the storm are on the photos.

    Beautiful national forest! You can easily spend the day , bring you meal and have a picnic and also hear the natural flowing river next to it. Perfect weekend trip!

    I have been to these woods ever since I was a teen. It was left kind of abandoned for a few years and suffered a lot with a storm...but it's fab once again. Highly recommended for runners, bikers, tennis or badminton fans...or simply for families in love with picnics

    What a wonderful park. Good o run, perfect for a relaxing. When you go there by weekend you will find many portuguese families there. I loved it because it was quite and beautiful. And if you hare waiting for a train the trainstation is only a 5 minutes walk away.
