Negreda: Routes to Cachão da Malhadinha

Negreda combines a village visit with opportunities for hiking and nature watching. The Percurso das Fagaceae includes a detour to visit the village; at Cachão da Malhadinha, route information leads to a viewpoint. If you are looking for a hotel, choose Negreda as your destination and consider whether you would like to focus your stay more on the village, the route or the natural feature.

At Cachão da Malhadinha

Cachão da Malhadinha is a hydrogeological feature; Cascata do Cachão da Malhadinha is classified under cultural heritage. From the last house in Negreda, an unpaved path passes the cemetery and runs for 1 km to the viewpoint at Cachão. There are several viewpoints at the feature, with railings from which visitors can view it safely and from a short distance. As the condition of the unpaved path can change, check current conditions on the path and at the viewpoints before your visit. Improvements to the path leading there made it possible to visit the hydrogeological feature from 2004 onwards.

Percurso das Fagaceae and distances

The Percurso das Fagaceae includes a detour to visit Negreda. From the junction to the end of the village is about 3 km. This stretch has different reference points from the 1 km path from the last house to the viewpoint: one measurement starts at the junction and ends at the village outskirts, while the other starts at the last house and ends at Cachão. The figures therefore describe different sections and are not directly comparable. For your planning, first decide which starting point and destination are relevant to your outing, and assign the distance to that section. This will help you keep the village visit and the route to the viewpoint in mind as separate points of reference.

Churches and a new playground

Igreja de Negreda is a church. Work to replace the roof at Igreja Matriz de Negreda was completed in 2024. This year refers to the completed work; it is not a date for a visit. On 24 August 2026, a new children's playground was inaugurated next to the former school in Negreda during the São Bartolomeu festivities. If the playground is important to your plans, check its current availability before visiting.
