The Baloiço do Trevim is located at the Alto de Trevim, the highest point of the Serra da Lousã, in the municipality of Lousã, district of Coimbra. At an altitude of 1,200 meters, this privileged location offers a vast and imposing natural setting, characteristic of the mountain landscape. The swing is positioned to provide a remarkable visual amplitude over the surrounding geography.
From the Baloiço do Trevim, the landscape unfolds in a panoramic view, stretching across a long valley. It is possible to observe the distance separating the viewpoint from the Lousã village, framed by the green mantle of the mountains. The mountainous horizon appears infinite, occasionally punctuated by wind turbines that mark the summit. At certain times of the day, such as late afternoon, the scenery transforms with a mixture of vibrant colors, from orange to golden, that paint the sky, creating an environment of great beauty.
The Baloiço do Trevim is a large wooden structure, designed to integrate into the natural environment. Its design, which evokes simplicity, stands out for the seat where a heart has been carved, a detail that may suggest a connection to affection or passion for the mountains themselves. This swing was born from the initiative "Isto é Lousã," a project aimed at valuing places with potential in the region, giving them new life by introducing special elements. It is an invitation to enjoy the serenity of the place and to feel the grandeur of the surrounding nature.
