Tree Walks in Guimaraes

Guimaraes has one walk that string its ancient trees together on foot, past 5 trees in all. Each one is an afternoon rather than a hike, and every tree on it has a story worth the stop.

The order is ours, worked out from where the trees actually stand; the walking distance is the real one along streets and paths where we have been able to route it, and a straight line between trunks where we have not. Nothing here is a signposted trail.

Monte da Penha

5 trees · about 5 km · 1h 7m on foot

Begins at The Camellias of Palacio Vila Flor (Common Camellia (Camellia japonica)) and ends at The Douglas Fir of Monte da Penha.

All of these stand in Guimaraes, where we map 8 remarkable trees in total. Or walk somewhere else: Alicante · Alkmaar · Amersfoort · Amsterdam · Arnhem · Assen

Over 1,900 old trees worth the walk
