This circular route, starting and ending in Mira de Aire, mainly develops through the large depression characterizing the polje, crossing the Mata de Minde, mostly formed by ash trees. Due to its gentle profile and constant presence of moisture, and being fed by various springs, sometimes in the form of ponds, this valley has been used for cattle grazing. The importance of the polje as a wetland earned it international classification under the Ramsar Convention.
This small route starts from the square where the two churches dedicated to Our Lady of Amparo are located. It descends along the street to the bottom of the valley, the polje, where the route follows a wide rural dirt road, sometimes flanked by walls. It is a very flat valley, with the only significant slopes occurring in the urban area of Mira de Aire. It is also a route that benefits from the natural shade provided by the tall ash trees, which are dominant here. Numerous clearings are used for pastures or some agriculture. The route partly coincides with PR10 (from Alcanena) and with GR54 – Grande Rota do Carso. At its southern end, an extension leads us to Alto Lombeiro, a viewpoint slightly elevated over the polje. Continuing north, the path becomes narrower, passing by one or another seasonal pond. However, Lagoa Velha retains water throughout the year. Inside the village, the route passes near the geosite Gruta do Olho de Mira, a spring with seasonal flow.
