The parish of Vilar da Veiga, right in the Peneda-Gerês Natural Park (on the southernmost side of the Gerês) is extremely rich in natural resources (belvederes, rocky formations and waterfalls).
The Homem River is a tributary on the right bank of the Cávado, with a length of 37 kilometers. It rises in the Serra do Gerês and it is on this river that the Vilarinho das Furnas hydroelectric plant is located.
The Ocreza River stretches for about eighty kilometers, from its source in the Serra da Gardunha to its confluence with the Tagus River. It is a periodic river with several tributaries.
Many trails lead to this place, with a geological phenomenon that results in a natural amphitheatre. Inside the Fórnea there is the Cova da Velha, a cavity with a spring that flows down to the Fórnea Brook.
Quiet lagoon with clear waters, on whose banks stands the Chapel of Nossa Senhora das Vitórias and where the well-known stew is made, burying the pots in the ground.
Mondim da Beira River Beach is a pleasant space with some trees and shade. Ideal for cooling off and taking a dip in contact with nature in its purest form.
The Senhora da Ribeira stands out for its privilged location with excellent views of the Douro river. Its service is quite friendly and its cuisine rather good.
