Xertelo Village

Highlight • Settlement

Xertelo is the highest place in Cabril and is about 700 meters above sea level. The village is very interesting with its granite houses, the chapel, the cross and the mill and is a good starting point for the hike to the 7 lagoons.

Sete Lagoas (Seven Lagoons)

Highlight • Lake

The 7 Gerês lagoons are a small natural wonder and the path that leads to them is beautiful. On the way it is possible to visit a Fojo do Lobo (an old structure used for wolf hunting) and hike along an old levada. The 7 natural pools that make up Sete Lagoas were naturally carved into the rock by erosion. They lie below a dam that supplies the surrounding villages with electricity.

Vertical Cube Mill

Highlight • Monument

This vertical dice mill has been restored and is moved by a system unusual in Portugal that uses the principles of gravity so that the water from a levada falls into a circular fountain about one meter in diameter and 3/4 meters high, moving the casting blades and the millstone.

Parking Area Below Xertelo

Highlight • Parking

There are a few parking spaces at the Sete Lagoas bar, but there aren't many, and it gets crowded on weekends.
