Location

The Cabril Floating Pool is situated in a natural setting, in the district of Leiria. It is specifically located in the municipality of Pedrógão Grande, in the locality of Vale de Góis, part of the area known as Tapada da Ladeira. The site is characterized by a predominantly green landscape, marked by dense vegetation and the presence of watercourses, namely the Cabril River, which contribute to a fresh and serene atmosphere. Its position offers views of the surrounding nature, providing an environment of tranquility.

The Uniqueness of the Structure

What defines the Cabril Floating Pool is its unique design. This structure was designed to rest directly on the surface of a natural body of water, establishing a connection with the surrounding aquatic element. Unlike a conventional swimming pool built on land, this is a leisure space that integrates uniquely with the landscape. This engineering work allows for an experience of swimming and relaxation directly linked to the river environment, representing an adaptation to the setting and a way of interacting with nature.

The Aquatic Experience

A visit to the Cabril Floating Pool provides an experience of leisure and contact with nature. The environment invites rest and revitalization. The clear and inviting water offers a refreshing contrast, particularly on warmer days. The sensation of bathing in a pool while suspended over the natural waters of the Cabril is one of its most notable aspects, allowing one to enjoy the landscape from an unusual perspective. It is a place designed for quiet enjoyment and contemplation of the riverine environment.

Harmony with the Surrounding Nature

The surroundings of the Cabril Floating Pool are characterized by the richness of the local nature. The sounds of the fauna, the breeze felt through the foliage, and the view of the tree-lined banks contribute to an idyllic atmosphere. The scenic setting is, in fact, one of its most relevant attributes, with natural light painting landscapes that transform throughout the day, lending new shades to the water. This place invites a swim in a setting that is simultaneously a constructed leisure space and a part of the riverside landscape of inland Portugal.
