Ecopista do Vouga and Ecopista de Dão, are installed in the old part of the Vouga railway line, which runs along the Vouga river and Foz do Rio Mau, we highlight the Poço de Santiago Bridge, to the city's architectural ex-libris, the railway tunnels, which give the landscape a unique charm and the bucolic atmosphere preserved by the image of Vouguinha, the emblematic steam train that crossed the lush landscapes of this valley. It has a support infrastructure for its users, Paradela Eco Café, in the old building of Estação Paradela.
