About this place
Houses, fields and cork oaks: a village revealing the inhabited side of the mountains.
The mountains have houses, paths and work.
In Ermida, the landscape reveals a village among the mountains. Fields, paths and houses show a long relationship with the hills. The municipality's description of the local trail links this land to cork oak woodland, livestock pens and the vezeira, a communal system for managing livestock.
Begin with a short walk around the village centre and its landscape. You do not need a five-hour hike to make the stop worthwhile. If the paths tempt you to continue, return with a day set aside for PR14. In this itinerary, Ermida is a village visit between Arado and discovering Fafião.

The inhabited mountains
