Tondela is located approximately halfway along the Ecopista, which runs for almost 50 km between Viseu and Santa Comba Dão. The section of the Ecopista that passes through the municipality of Tondela is characterized by green asphalt, distinguishing it from the other sections. The old Tondela station is a fascinating element of the Ecopista do Dão, a reminder of the region's railway history.

This tunnel dives directly into the rock, creating a cool and suggestive passage. You pedal on a well-maintained asphalt and inside the tunnel the lighting is good.

If traveling with kids, this spot is perfect. With swimming pool. Restaurant just across. Right at the Dão cycle path/ecopista

In the old Farminhão Station there is now the Station Alive Restaurant, open every day, and where you can have lunch or regain strength. The old and magnificent iron locomotives were replaced by a more modest wooden composition where people can travel without leaving the same place and drink their coffee.

Very nice small river beach (unofficial). Access is via a dirt road (+- 100m) that leads directly to the Dão ecopista.
