GIAHS Territory Observatory Network – Teto do Mundo – Couto dos Corvos – Alturas do Barroso

The Côto dos Corvos Hillfort, overlooking the left bank of the Rabagão river, enjoys a breathtaking landscape, from the Larouco and Gerês mountains to the north and north-west, to the Cabreira and Marão mountains to the south, dominating the wide valley of the middle course of the Rabagão river, a veritable balcony for the commonly known Pisões Dam. Its high altitude (1200 m) makes it an excellent viewpoint of the Barroso region and, together with its neighbour, the Côto do Sudro, they make up the so-called “Cornos das Alturas”, which, in the flat landscape of Barroso, are the orographic reference that identifies the region.
