I parked by a little dumpster on the paved road and hiked the dirt road. Google maps was telling me to drive up the dirt road which looked unsafe. The part I walked was short and a bit steep but not difficult at all. There were barking dogs at the house by the start of the dirt road but they didn't come over. The little hike was beautiful. It's windy at the top so bring a jacket.
The view is nice, the access horrible, and the swing dangerous.
Fácil acesso. Vistas deslumbrantes sobre o Vale do Lima.
Baloiço em bom estado e com uma paisagem espectacular!! Estacionar o carro na estrada e percorrer a pé um caminho durante uns 5 minutos. Acesso muito fácil a pé.
Baloiço da Risca, encontra-se um pouco ao abandono. A placa que destaca o baloiço, encontra-se caída e alguns fios entre o próprio baloiço e as pedras, de modo a ajudar a manter o equilíbrio do mesmo, estão soltos. É pena não melhorarem o baloiço, porque a vista é de cortar a respiração. Vale a pena visitar, nem que seja apenas pela natureza deslumbrante envolvente.
