Situated on the left bank of the River Mondego and occupying part of the course of the Cernache Brook, the paúl (marsh) is a small wet zone, with vegetation of bullrushes and reeds. In the ditches there are yellow flag-irises, and along the banks grow poplars and willows.
On the edge of the zone there are stands of pine and eucalyptus. The marsh has a varied population of birds and mammals: in autumn it is an important stopping place for migrant passerines, and in spring and summer many wetland birds nest here. Bus: 21 |
