The Goat and Wolf Trail is a circular hiking route of about 12 km. It starts and ends in the village of Pena. The difficulty level is moderate, with parts of the route that require some attention. People who are used to hiking can complete it with ease.

We invite people to explore the mountainous landscape dotted with schist rock formations, deep valleys, streams and villages that still retain traditional features from the past.

We'll pass through the villages of Pena, Covas do Monte and Covas do Rio, places with a rich tradition and history, and a strong connection to agriculture and livestock. Along the way, we'll come across the Livraria da Pena (Pena Library), a monumental site with huge cliffs that look like books for the gods.

Along the way, there will be no shortage of local legends, such as “The dead man who killed the living man” and “The goat that killed the wolf,” which give this route a mysterious and ancient feel.

The route combines nature, culture and physical challenge. It's ideal for those looking to discover a more authentic and less touristy side of central Portugal.
