The real access trail to Cabeço de Monfarinho does not start at the point indicated on the Komoot map, but about a hundred meters before. Pay attention to the path that will lead you to it.

The geodetic marker that marks this peak is a few dozen meters from the trail that passes next to it, and is only accessible on foot.

Locally, these small hills are called "cabeços". Cabeço da Silheira is one of the highest in the region, reaching 200m in altitude. It is therefore natural that it was chosen as the site for the installation of water tanks that supply the region's public water supply network. You can reach Cabeço da Silheira via a small asphalt road (very steep) or via one or two existing trails. If you choose to go along the trails, we recommend a mountain bike.

The Serra de Montejunto Forest Watch Station can be accessed via a pastoral trail from the picnic park. It offers a beautiful panorama of the region north of the Serra.

Usually this is a windy place, but the view is superb. A part of the trail that passes through this point is a bit technical with some loose rock, it may not be very recommended for gravel bikes with thin tires.
