It is located halfway between the city of Covilhã and Penhas da Saúde, in Serra da Estrela and in front of the Hotel dos Carqueijais
The new viewpoint at Varanda dos Carqueijais aims to give an aerodynamic view of Covilhã and the region and you can see the flat surface of Cova da Beira and at the foot of the slope you can see the city of Covilhã and further away the elevation of Serra da Estrela.
The Miradouro dos Carqueijais has a new balcony with views of the Serra da Estrela mountain range that aims to attract tourists to the city and the region.
The Varanda dos Carqueijais Viewpoint is installed in a suspended pedestrian structure and was opened on October 20, 2020 to promote nature tourism.
The Viewpoint is considered a privileged balcony overlooking a unique and stunning landscape over Covilhã and Cova da Beira, integrated into the viewpoint route of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park.
The creation of 7 pedestrian routes (with a total of around 100 km) allowed the installation at the viewpoint of an innovative, bold and daring suspended pedestrian structure worthy of being considered as a future national and international architectural landmark.
The construction project for this suspended platform involves an extension of the access, adapted to the morphology of the land, enhancing the landscape setting.
The strategy adopted to achieve better appropriation and adaptation in relation to natural characteristics involved the construction of a route suspended over the landscape.
A true amphitheater attached to the morphology of the terrain and a level platform capable of functioning as a meeting point and space for staying.
The space has walls, urban furniture, lighting and shrubs that make the place a pleasant place where visitors can enjoy moments of leisure or rest surrounded by the magnificent view of the mountain that surrounds them.
The viewpoint that connects the city of Covilhã and the cliffs of Saúde, in Serra da Estrela, next to the Hotel dos Carqueijais has autonomous light points and LED luminaires.
The posts made up of solar panels and batteries take advantage of solar energy that is stored during the day and power the luminaires at night.
The Miradouro invites all Covilhã residents and all visitors to enjoy the magnificent landscape in a structure that unites urbanism and nature in perfect harmony.
