03 – On the trails of Serra da Freita
#preescolar, #primeirociclo, #segundociclo, #secundario, #universitario, #senior
The Serra da Freita plateau is a natural space par excellence for contacting and understanding a reality that students don’t always have direct contact with: the rural environment. Here it is possible to take a short walking route through areas of woodland, undergrowth, small streams and waterfalls, where we often come across the region’s livestock: Arouquesa cows and goats and sheep. In the older villages, we can see the application of the rocks that outcrop in the region and also, in some cattle cuts, the application of thatch. This visit includes admission and a viewing of the 3D film “Pedras Parideiras: um tesouro geológico” at the Casa das Pedras Parideiras – Interpretation Center.
