The Pedra da Ferida Waterfall is located in a natural area of the Serra do Espinhal, in the municipality of Penela. This place is close to the village of Espinhal and, more specifically, to the area of Carvalhal da Serra and Ribeira da Azenha. Its surroundings are characterized by a mountain landscape, offering a refuge for those seeking the tranquility of nature.
The Pedra da Ferida Waterfall stands out for its remarkable cascade, reaching approximately 25 meters in height. Its formation results from the presence of more resistant rocks in the landscape, which have shaped the course of the stream over time. The sound of the water precipitating and the sight of the flow descending create a scenic point in the mountain landscape.
Access to the waterfall involves a pedestrian path that leads visitors through a natural environment. This trail follows the banks of the stream, winding through dense vegetation that provides many shaded areas, making the walk pleasant. It is the experience of traversing this forest area that complements the arrival at the waterfall, offering direct contact with the local fauna and flora. There is also the possibility of observing the waterfall from a viewpoint, which offers a distinct perspective on the cascade and the surrounding landscape.
