The municipality of Covilhã reinforces the Viewpoint Network, which now includes a total of 4 contemplation sites:
The Piornos Viewpoint, Varanda dos Carquejais, Alto dos Livros Viewpoint and finally Covão Viewpoint.
Located in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park (PNSE), in the upward direction of the EN 339 road, the new structure is the result of a requalification that involved the introduction of a suspended platform, projecting over the valley, adding another perspective that could only be achieved through this extension, allowing visitors to have the best conditions to enjoy a breathtaking landscape.
The alteration of the natural landscape is carried out through an adequate environmental framework of the entire architectural complex, combined with a balanced fusion with the landscape.
The Covão Viewpoint allows visitors to feel suspended over nature, above the ground, developing sensations of simultaneously communion with the nature that surrounds them and levitation, whilst enjoying the landscape.
It is a space that we hope will create memories and serve as a reference for its landscape and architectural quality, taking root in the Serra da Estrela experience.
With this inauguration, the municipality of Covilhã reinforces the Viewpoint Network, which now includes a total of 4 contemplation sites:
The creation of the Serra da Estrela Viewpoint Network is part of the Conservation Plan for the Protection and Development of the Natural and Cultural Heritage of Serra da Estela and aims to increase visitation and enhance the region’s landscape.
