The Natural Environment

The Ourém Municipal Forest is characterized by its predominantly arboreal vegetation, composed of various species that contribute to air quality and local biodiversity. It is possible to observe a variety of trees that provide shade and a mild climate, even on the hottest days. The dense foliage, textures, and sounds of nature create a distinct atmosphere, inviting contemplation and relaxation.

The forest floor, often covered by a carpet of leaves and low-lying vegetation, evokes the feeling of a genuinely natural space, a small green lung that remains vibrant throughout the seasons. The presence of mature trees underscores the established character and history of this space.

Paths and Contemplation

This location offers pedestrian paths that wind through the vegetation, allowing visitors to explore the forest at their own pace. The paths invite peaceful walks, ideal for a family outing or a moment of introspection. The layout of the trails is designed for an accessible experience, without major challenges.

The Ourém Municipal Forest is, above all, an invitation to tranquility. It is a space where one can observe the local flora, smell the earth and the trees, and enjoy the silence that, at times, is only broken by the singing of birds. It constitutes a meeting point with nature that fosters well-being and tranquility.
