Ecotracks: greenways that meet nature.
Old railway lines have given way to new routes. Ecotrails were created as a way of upgrading disused railway lines. To enhance the railway routes, the Ecopistas promote the connection to nature and the local heritage in an ecological and sustainable way, encouraging physical activity.
On Portugal's Ecopistas you can walk, cycle or even rollerblade. The maintenance and quality of the pavement also means that they can be used by wheelchairs and other means of mobility.
There are several Ecopistas in Portugal, from the north to the south of the country, that you can discover. Often complemented by ecovias and cycle paths, they are veritable greenways for discovering the landscapes, towns, natural and cultural heritage of the regions. The longest Ecopista in Portugal is the Dão Ecopista, which is around 49 kilometres long. Among the best known are the Vouga Ecotrail, the Minho River Ecotrail, the Tâmega Ecotrail, the Corgo Ecotrail and the Sabor Ecotrail.
