Ecopista do Dão

The Ecopista do Dão is a bicycle path that goes from Santa Comba Dão via Tondela to Viseu. It is laid in tarmack on the old route of the narrow gauge railway track, with the original bridges and stations still there. The train operated till 1988. The scenery with the forests and the lakes is absolutely stunning. The path is not allowed for cars, and where a road crosses the path cars have to give way, therefore very safe for cycling.

In general the path is suitable for all ages. Only the short connection between the starting point at Santa Comba Dão trainstation and the path has to be finished and is now sandy and steep. You might want to walk there.
