The Pedestrian Trail of Febros River is a route that runs through the parishes of Avintes, Vilar de Andorinho and Oliveira do Douro.
Allows the observation of biological and geological natural heritage, where we can identify several typical spices of fauna and flora and even the rock formations where they develop. This trail allows enjoying traces of history of a village where, once, the river was of great importance for the economic development of the population. So, along the trail we can see true monuments, some of them have some centuries. Among the structures of interest are set cement bridges, masonry and iron mills and complex mills - some of them turned into dwellings, granaries, cruises, wash houses and an old paper mill.
