The suspension bridge is located in the locality of Arriacha Fundeira, municipality of Gavião, in the district of Portalegre. This structure is set within a natural environment where a watercourse defines the landscape. Its position allows for connection between banks, fitting into a scene of riparian vegetation and wooded areas.
From the bridge, it is possible to observe a landscape that stretches along the valley, characterized by the presence of water and the density of the surrounding vegetation. The site offers a perspective on the integration of human construction in the natural environment.
Crossing this bridge over the watercourse provides an observation of the natural environment of the municipality of Gavião. The structure, suspended over the water, allows for a view of the river's flow and the vegetation present on the banks. While traversing it, the structure may exhibit slight movement, a common characteristic of this type of construction.
This passage allows for the observation of the natural surroundings, including the flora and fauna associated with riparian ecosystems.
Beyond its function as a crossing, the suspension bridge constitutes an observation point within the landscape. From its structure, panoramic views of the natural surroundings of Arriacha Fundeira are revealed. The landscape combines the presence of water with the surrounding vegetation.
The way the bridge integrates into the landscape gives it visual value. The interaction between the structure and its environment, particularly the reflections on the water and the colours of the vegetation throughout the seasons, contributes to the appreciation of the site.
