The trail of the Misarela Bridge – PR5 MTR is one of the most popular in Northern Portugal and the Gerês region in particular. However, it takes place outside the National Park, and the Misarela bridge itself is less than 1 km from the Park’s border. Originally this trail was called “Entre Cávado e Rabagão” (between Cávado and Rabagão), as it is the area between the rivers Cávado and Rabagão, in the municipality of Montalegre.

Undoubtedly the main reason for the popularity of this trail is the Misarela bridge, also called The Devil’s Bridge. This medieval bridge crosses the Rabagão river, next to a waterfall creating a fabulous setting. In summer, it is possible to dive in the wells next to the bridge, while in the rainy season, it is possible to appreciate the splendor of the falls. In addition to the natural setting where Misarela Bridge is located, it is a place of legends and history.
