The Trevim Swing is located in Alto de Trevim, an elevated area of the Lousã Mountains, situated in the locality of Candal, in the municipality of Lousã. Positioned at an altitude of approximately 1200 meters, this spot offers a vast natural and characteristic mountain setting, inviting contemplation of the immensity of the mountain landscape.
This structure is a swing built with tall wooden logs. Its seat incorporates a particular detail: a sculpted heart, perhaps symbolizing the emotional connection to the beauty of the place or the passion for the mountains. From the swing, the view extends wide and encompassing, revealing the green immensity of the Lousã Mountains, occasionally punctuated by some wind turbines that blend into the summit landscape. It is an invitation to contemplate the vast surrounding nature.
The Trevim Swing is the result of a local initiative, the "Isto é Lousã" (This is Lousã) project. This was conceived by young people from the region, with the purpose of reactivating and giving new life to natural spaces with untapped potential. Its creation reflects the desire to enhance the landscape and offer a point of interest that invites exploration of the mountains.
This place is particularly sought after for its atmosphere and the natural spectacle it provides, especially at the end of the day. At sunset, the sky over the mountains transforms into a canvas of vibrant colors, with shades of orange and gold painting the horizon. This setting provides the Trevim Swing with an environment conducive to tranquil observation and capturing memorable moments, making it a popular point of interest among visitors seeking distinct visual experiences in nature.
