Leaving Alexandre Aibéu Park, you can explore the valleys of the Carpinteira and Goldra streams (also known as the Pisões Stream) and discover the city’s National Forest. Along this route, the connection between the waterways flowing here and the wool-processing industry is quite evident. Along the way, visitors will come across old factories, renovated buildings, place names, smokestacks, and other significant historical remnants. Points of interest include the Floresta da Rosa Negra and the Sineiro textile mills.
