Location

The Baloiço do Talegre (Talegre Swing) is located in a privileged position in the area of the Alburitel Viewpoint, in the locality of Alburitel, part of the municipality of Ourém. This location elevates the visitor above the surrounding area, providing an unobstructed view. The viewpoint is a meeting point that offers a vast panorama of the landscape, placing the swing in a setting that invites quiet observation of the region.

Its installation in an easily accessible location within the urbanization or viewpoint area allows the swing to be an accessible stopping point for those seeking a moment of pause and appreciation of the landscape. Its presence at the Alburitel Viewpoint enriches the experience of those who travel to this area to enjoy the vastness of the horizon.

The Swing Experience

The Baloiço do Talegre is more than a simple structure; it is an invitation to a playful and contemplative experience. Built of wood, with considerable dimensions, it allows those who sit on its seats to cast their eyes over the landscape while swinging. This gentle movement, combined with the elevated position, creates a sense of lightness and freedom, as if for moments one were floating above the landscape.

It is a point that stimulates creativity, especially for those who like to capture special moments. The shape of the swing and the natural scenery surrounding it serve as a backdrop for photographs that record the visit and the uniqueness of this place. The simultaneous interaction with the structure and the natural environment makes the experience memorable.

Landscape and Views

The main attraction of the Baloiço do Talegre lies in the panoramic view it offers. From there, the gaze sweeps across the vast expanse of the territory around Alburitel. The landscape unfolds with fields, wooded areas, and, in the distance, the silhouettes of other localities and geographical formations, varying according to the time of year.

The view is particularly captivating during transitional moments of the day, such as sunrise or sunset, when the colors of the sky are reflected in the landscape, painting it with vibrant hues and lending a unique atmosphere to the place. It is a privileged observation point to appreciate the serenity of the natural environment and the vastness of the horizon that stretches as far as the eye can see.
