The Estanislau Spring Park is located in the São João area, within the town of Ovar. This green space provides a harmonious transition between the urban environment and the surrounding natural landscape, extending along the banks of the Louredo Stream. Its location offers easy access for those seeking a moment of tranquility and contact with nature.
The central point of the park is the Estanislau Spring, a source of fresh, crystal-clear water that gave the entire space its name. The gentle murmur of the constantly flowing water creates a serene atmosphere, welcoming visitors from the very first moment. This spring is not just a natural element, but also an invitation to contemplation and relaxation, marking the beginning of an immersive experience in the natural environment.
The park's paths unfold along wooden walkways that wind through dense vegetation and the stream's watercourse. Along the route, old watermills are found, now deactivated but carefully preserved. These structures are testaments to the ingenuity and past life in the region, inviting visitors to imagine what daily life was like in bygone times. The rocky bed of the stream, which accompanies the path, is a natural element that unifies this space, revealing its landscape and biological importance.
One of the most captivating points of the Estanislau Spring Park is the Mother-in-law's Waterfall (Cascata da Sogra), a picturesque cascade perfectly framed by rocks and luxuriant vegetation. This natural setting offers an environment of exceptional beauty, ideal for a tranquil break and to enjoy the serenity of the place. The park, with its inviting shade and silent atmosphere, constitutes a natural refuge, easy to explore and accessible to all ages, with areas designated for those wishing to enjoy a relaxed moment outdoors.
