Offering a breath-taking view over the southeastern flank of Serra da Estrela and the charming city of Covilhã, 1130 meters-high Varanda dos Carqueijais is a stunning suspended belvedere, beautifully placed at the heart of the natural landscape. 

The suspended walkway was the best way to provide a great experience for visitors, creating a sort of amphitheatre, a balcony over the inspiring natural landscape. This belvedere is part of the belvederes' route developed by the City Hall of Covilhã, in order to promote the natural heritage of the region. 

Other outstanding example is the Piornos Belvedere with a magical location at the heart of the glacial valleys of Serra da Estrela.
