Cascata da Pedra da Ferida, Natural waterfall in Espinhal, Portugal.
The 25-meter high waterfall cascades down red-tinted rocks into a natural pool, surrounded by dense forest and wooden footbridges along Ribeira da Azenha.
The waterfall's name originates from the reddish coloration of its iron-rich rocks, which undergo oxidation through continuous contact with the stream water.
Local folklore captures the waterfall's essence in traditional verses that speak of its perpetual flow and the enduring red marks on its stones.
The complete hiking circuit extends 3.73 kilometers through forest paths, requiring proper hiking shoes and extra caution during wet conditions.
The waterfall maintains a constant water flow throughout the year, creating multiple natural pools suitable for swimming during summer months.
