The village of Janeiro de Cima will once again organize the Boats in the River- skill competition with traditional boats, and the hike “Walking along the Schist Walking Trails of Janeiro de Cima”, on the 6th and 7th of August.

The traditional boat skill competition brings families and friends together again to the Zêzere river putting to the test the best boatmen and boatwomen. In past times, the boat was the only means of connection between the two banks of the Zêzere. It is one of the symbols of Janeiro de Cima and reveals the strong connection established between the population and the river. 

At the end of the day there is a concert by Jerónimo & Cro-Magnon, the mythical band from Fundão.

On August 7, the walk will allow a glimpse of the enchanting serpentine landscapes as the River Zêzere unwinds along with the rocky ridges classified as a World Heritage Network.. It ends at 1:00 pm with lunch at Parque Fluvial da Lavandeira, which requires prior registration at the village establishments or at the Parish Council.
