阿拉杜瀑布

当阿拉杜河离开热雷斯群山的高山牧场时，它沿一级级花岗岩石阶跌入狭窄的峡谷。 佩内达-热雷什国家公园（Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês） 保有葡萄牙最狂野的景致之一，而这道瀑布——距埃尔米达小村附近的公路桥步行片刻——是其上镜率最高的角落之一。

水过花岗岩

The cascade is a sequence of falls rather than a single drop: the river slides over slabs worn smooth by floods, gathers in dark pools and runs on through the gorge. A small viewing point above the falls looks down the line of the water, and on summer days the pool at the foot draws swimmers brave enough for mountain water. The park, created in 1971 as Portugal’s first national park, protects the moorland, oak woods and wild Garrano horses of the range around it.

在古罗马路上

The mountains also carry one of the region’s oldest works of engineering: the geira romana, the imperial road that once linked Braga to Astorga, marked with original milestones and classed as a National Monument. Marked trails follow its stones and climb from the valley roads to the high pastures, making the waterfall a natural stop on longer walks through Terras de Bouro.

实用信息

瀑布位于特拉斯-迪布罗市镇、国家公园之内，在自谷底攀升的狭窄山路上。山地天气即使在夏天也变化极快：请分层着装，带水与防滑的鞋，单车道段请慢行。瀑布旁的小径是天然岩石——出发前请查阅当地关于通行的信息。
