fervenza

River Belelle runs through the Fragas do Eume, in the municipality of As Pontes. The river flows through A Capela, Fene and Neda, where it meets the ocean. Another landmark of Neda can be found here, the almost hidden Fervenza (waterfall) of river Belelle.

On its way to the sea, near the town O Roxal, the river turns into a 450metre-high waterfall. The waterfall of Belelle is one of the highest in Galicia. The spectacular surroundings, rich with oak and chestnut trees, make the “fervenza” a paradise on Earth.

The riverside, with the waterfall and the viewing point, has become an essential hiking route for the fans of nature.

Tip
The best time of the year to visit the "fervenza" is winter or fall, when the river waters are higher.
Did you know that...?
Higher up from the "Fervenza", there is a hydropower plant built in the early 20th century, still running at full capacity. This power plant brought electricity to Ferrol.
