This Exercise Zone is distinguished by its natural setting, characterized by the predominance of green spaces and, possibly, by the presence of some arboreal vegetation that provides shade and coolness on warmer days. The atmosphere is one of calm and silence, punctuated only by the sounds of nature, such as the gentle whisper of the wind through the trees or the chirping of birds.
The design of the space seeks to harmonize the areas dedicated to exercise with the existing natural elements, creating a sense of peace and a genuine invitation to disconnect from everyday life, favoring deep breaths and contemplation of the surroundings.
The location of the Exercise Zone offers a particular scenic value, providing panoramic views that enchant its visitors. From there, it is possible to enjoy unobstructed views over the urban fabric of Covilhã, observing the city stretching across the valley, and, in the distance, spotting the imposing contours of the mountain landscape that embraces the region.
