From this pier, you can appreciate the imposing verticality of the mountains, which provide access to numerous places of interest. During the river crossing, you can enjoy magnificent views of the reservoir’s structure, especially from the viewpoints of the San Estevo Dam and the pier itself, which allow observation of the Sil River’s waters and the sinuous shape of the river, as well as the geological features of the opposite shore. Hiking routes can be undertaken along the riverbank, through soutos (chestnut forests), as well as to waterfalls and chapels of great scenic and spiritual value.

- Environment
- Nogueira de Ramuín stands out for its landscapes and geological features provided by the Sil River with the reservoirs of San Estevo Ribas do Sil and San Pedro do Sil; with the monasteries of San Estevo (national parador) from which, at the Penedos do Castro Viewpoint, we have an aerial view of the monastery and the landscape with the Sil River. Nearby are the San Estevo waterfall, the Gundrei bridge, A Barca, the Romanesque churches of San Martín de Nogueira, San Cristóbal de Armariz, the hermitages of Virgen del Monte, A Barca, Costria, etc. Close by are: Los Peares, which allows us to ascend towards Pantón to enjoy its historical ensembles of the Miño River; the city of Ourense with its heritage and thermal baths; and the monastery of San Pedro das Rocas, which would enable us to plan a circular route.
