Serra da Gardunha, Mountain summit in Centro Region, Portugal.
The Serra da Gardunha rises to 1,223 meters, forming a natural border between the Serra da Estrela range and the Beira Baixa plain.
King Denis transformed the Alcambar valley in the 13th century by replacing vineyards with chestnut trees, creating what became known as the King's groves.
The name Gardunha derives from the Moorish word Guardunha, referring to the mountain range's function as a natural refuge in central Portugal.
The Regional Protected Landscape spans 10,547 hectares across Fundão and Castelo Branco municipalities, featuring marked hiking trails to the summit.
The mountain houses five granite outcrops near Castelo Velho at elevations between 1,006 and 1,029 meters, demonstrating substantial geological value.
