Schist Walking Trails
Casal de S. Simão Schist Walking Trail
The walking trail takes place in the surroundings of Casal de S. Simão.
It goes trough the Fragas de S. Simão, its River Beach and passes in the villages of Além da Ribeira, Ponte do Brascurado and Saonda. Along Alge and Fato streams with its typical Laurissilva forest, we can still find the water channels that take water into the watermills.
In the water lines that abound in this area, full of old water channels and watermills, evidence of human occupation, we can still find some patches of original flora of this region, characterized by the presence of Portuguese Laurel (Prunus lusitanica), Royal fern, Lady-fern, English Oak and others.
Among the vegetation many mammals hide themselves, like the fox, the Genet or the Egyptian mongoose.
