Galicia Tourist Guide 2018

Devesa da Rogueira

Located in Folgoso do Courel , Devesa da Rogueira offers such diverse vegetation that a walk through this area is always an i nteresting experience for anyone who loves botany and hiking. This is where you will find the widest variety of plant species in all of Galicia , which is why many consider it to be the region's most beautiful forest . Infinite shades of green stretch across these mountains and valleys, where beech, mountain- ash, maple, chestnut, oak and yew

blend together to create a feast for the senses. The official hiking trail is almost nine kilometers long and is rated at an average difficulty level. Before setting out, you can get some infor- mation on the trail at the Moreda Nature Classroom in Seoane do Courel. One of the greatest rewards for completing this adventure is to reach Formigueiros Peak after first passing by a glacial lake, where you will find some of the best views you will ever see.
