The mountains of the Penedo de Góis, which are part of the Serra da Lousã (Lousã Mountains), at a height of Шаблон:Convert, have an accentuated orography with many climatic differences; the Lousã represents the end of the southwest-central cordillera, with elevations between Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert above sea level, with accentuated slopes (resulting in steep cliffs that are mostly inaccessible) on the northern flanks and gentle in the south influenced by Atlantic and Mediterranean weather systems.[3]
The environment resulted in a diverse vegetation, that includes holm oaks (Quercus rotundifolia) in the dry, sunny regions; and English oak (Quercus robur) and Pyrenean oak (Quercus pyrenaica) in the humid, colder areas.[3] It is an area of appreciable landscape, composed of quartzite, accompanied by gravel along the flanks.[3]
The rivers, in addition to its fishery resources, are utilized for leisure activities (including its beaches and fluvial pools).
There are a number of watercourses in the municipality, all with a permanent character that support the watersheds of the Zêzere and Mondego Rivers.[3] The riparian vegetation, consequently, thrives: specifically, the patches of European alder (Alnus glutinosa) and communities of Portuguese laurel (Prunus lusitanica), with the presence of European holly (Ilex aquifolium).[3] These areas include important spaces for the conservation of Iberian Emerald Lizard (Lacerta schreiberi) and particularly the Gold-Striped Salamander (Chioglossa lusitanica), also known as an area of elevated genetic diversity and major vulnerability.[3]
There are many religious and/or secular festivals throughout the summer, including one of Portugal's largest Motorbikecompetitions in August (after the one in Faro).
