The Fonte do Estanislau Park is located in the municipality of Ovar, marking the natural border between the parishes of Maceda and Arada. This green space is situated next to the Louredo stream, in an area that retains predominantly rural characteristics and a rich natural environment. Its location offers an atmosphere of tranquility and easy access, allowing visitors a relaxed immersion in the local landscape.
One of the central elements of the park is the Louredo stream, whose watercourse is the common thread throughout the experience. The main path unfolds along the stream's rocky bed, offering views of the watercourse. Wooden boardwalks facilitate walking, guiding visitors through dense vegetation and verdant banks, in a shady and pleasant environment. This infrastructure allows for comfortable exploration of the site, inviting serene observation of nature.
Beyond its natural beauty, the Fonte do Estanislau Park preserves traces of a cultural and historical heritage. Along the path, visitors will find several old watermills. These structures, now disused but well-preserved, are a testament to human ingenuity and the life that once existed in this valley. The Fonte do Estanislau itself, which gives the park its name, is a point of interest, known for its fresh and crystalline water, welcoming those who arrive at the site.
This park is an invitation to relaxation and contact with nature. The gentle sound of running water and the rustling of leaves create an atmosphere of serenity, ideal for those seeking a peaceful break. There is an area with tables and benches, designed for moments of rest or for enjoying a picnic, in a natural and peaceful setting that favors contemplation and well-being.
