On the peaceful edge of Pateira do Carregal in Aveiro, the Baloiço da Pateira do Carregal offers a quiet moment surrounded by water, aquatic plants and open natural scenery. Set beside a wooden walkway and small pontoon, the swing looks out over the lagoon, where water lilies and other floating vegetation create a changing landscape throughout the year. It is a simple attraction, but one that captures the calm character of this wetland setting.

The swing is especially popular for photographs, with space for two people and a wide view across the pateira. Depending on the season and water level, access to the swing may vary, but the surrounding leisure area remains an inviting place to spend time outdoors. Visitors will find picnic areas, walking paths, toilets, open green spaces and viewpoints, including an observation tower well suited to birdwatching.

Beyond the swing itself, the area is ideal for a relaxed walk along the margins of the lagoon, with trails leading towards other nearby points such as Pateira de Requeixo. Whether you come for a scenic pause, a family picnic or a quiet nature walk, Baloiço da Pateira do Carregal is a charming stop that encourages visitors to slow down and enjoy one of the most serene landscapes in the Aveiro region.

Very nice area to park in a camper. The waters a lot higher than in the summer so the swing isn't accessible unless you want to wade to it 🙂 but the rest of the area is fine. And you can walk to pateira de requeixo (about 3 kilometers) along a nice track next to the lake.

Baloiço estrategicamente instalado num pequeno pontão com uma bonita vista sobre a pateira do carregal, bonito pântano coberto de jacintos e nenúfares (plantas aquáticas). O mesmo permite sentar duas pessoas, alcançar um ótimo balanço e captar ótimas fotografias! O local está inserido num pequeno parque de lazer que inclui instalações para merendas e um imponente posto de observação de aves.

Mas que sítio tao belo, um recantozinho cheio de encanto, com as flores a boiar na água, vista sobre a extensa lagoa. Um sitio muito tranquilo. O baloiço está num local muito bonito. Adorei.
