Torrinheiras, in Abadim, is presented by the Municipality as the highest settlement in the municipality, about 1020 meters. The track climbs the hill and reaches 1159 meters. They are two distinct altitude references: that of the village and that of a point of the route, not a measure of the accumulated climb of the walk.
The description of the panorama names Gerês, Alvão, Marão and Barroso. Further down, it mentions the brook of Busteliberne, Porto d’Olho and, on the return, mills and grazing of barrosan and maronese cattle. Thus, the mountain tells a story of distances and views, but also of water, villages and work. The visibility and state of the track should be evaluated during the visit.
