Holiday apartment in Toén – Forest trails, culture and Entroido de Mugares

Toén reveals its character through nature, culture, regional products and events. When you choose a holiday apartment in Toén, you can shape your trip around whether you want to focus on landscapes, natural attractions, historic architecture, a special event or regional products. The PR-G 186 route, the Fervenza do Rego de Puga, Santa María de Mugares, the Entroido de Mugares and the wines of D.O. El Ribeiro give these themes specific places and examples.

Holiday apartment in Toén: forest trails, nature and culture

On the PR-G 186 route, winding forest paths alternate with scrubland and dense forest in the Coto Louredo woodland. Cork oaks, chestnut trees, strawberry trees, holm oaks and holly trees can be found here. The PR-G 186 route offers impressive views of the Miño River and has two well-signposted variants that allow the route to be shortened. This means you can incorporate the route into your day planning as different route options. Those who shorten the route can place greater emphasis on individual forest sections or the views of the Miño. For nature enthusiasts, the succession of scrubland, dense forest and different tree species provides specific opportunities for observation. The views of the Miño complement the forest sections with an open landscape perspective.

Waterfall and nature recreation

The Fervenza do Rego de Puga is a waterfall on the Rego de Puga, a tributary of the Miño. To see the main waterfall, you have to climb carefully over rocks, as there is a risk of slipping. The Área Recreativa de Alongos is a nature recreation area in Alongos, Toén. For the main waterfall, the climb over the rocks should be included in your day planning as a separate practical section.

Culture and tradition in Mugares

The Entroido de Mugares has a tradition of more than one hundred years and is now considered an event of provincial tourist interest. It always takes place on Shrove Tuesday. The church of Santa María de Mugares dates from the 16th century and is one of the few churches in the province of Ourense with Renaissance features. Those interested in culture can regard Shrove Tuesday and the Renaissance features as separate points of interest.

Getting there and regional products

Toén has a road connection to the A-52, which links Vigo and Madrid. The regional products associated with Toén include wines from D.O. El Ribeiro. The wines of D.O. El Ribeiro can therefore be incorporated into your travel planning as a separate regional product focus.

Choose your holiday apartment according to your travel interests

When choosing your holiday apartment in Toén, you can start with your preferred travel rhythm. If you are looking for trails and landscape impressions, you will set different priorities than on a trip focused on culture or a fixed event. Regional products can add an extra accent. The two variants of the PR-G 186 and the Entroido de Mugares, which is tied to Shrove Tuesday, allow for different scheduling priorities.
