Single track parallel to Ribeiro das Chitas, and at the end you can continue along the single track to Padrão, or turn right crossing the stream towards Curvachia again. If done in the West-East direction, right at the beginning there is a climb of about 1m that with skill and speed you can climb. Good to do also at night with good flashlights.

In the 16th century the monastery of Santa Maria de Coz became one of the richest Cistercian convents in Portugal. The tiles in the sacristy tell the life story of Bernhard de Claraval. The church has a beautiful painted wooden ceiling from the 18th century. The walls are painted tiles again. The gilded wooden altar is baroque. In Portugal in 1834 all monasteries were charged. The buildings are now managed by the municipalities.

Large and imposing specimen of the oak tree, in the heart of the Curvachia forest. In addition to being able to appreciate the Carvalho, all the paths and single tracks to reach it, are worth a visit to the Curvachia forest.
