Circular route that goes towards Évora Monte from Ecomuseu, passing close Freixo village, following to Estremoz on the N4. You don't stop in Estremoz, but pass through the "Bairro do Operário", where you can find some support points. You then return towards Serra D’Ossa, crossing it. On the other side, going down, you will pass the door of the "Convento de São Paulo" in a series of twists and turns between the native vegetation of the mountain range. This is the side of the mountain that still maintains more of the original species. Pass the "Aldeia da Serra" where you will find the entrance to the "Aldeia da Serra" of the Serra D’Ossa Cycling Center, from where the MTB-XC routes leave. Then follow until Redondo to return to the entrance door, located close the Ecomuseu.
