![Situada na freguesia de Silva Escura, onde abundam imensos cursos hídricos. A irregularidade do terreno, conjugado com enormes torrentes de água e com uma rica flora local, produziram espaços bucólicos, nos quais a poesia da natureza foi complementada pela vontade humana. Símbolo máximo do capricho da Natureza, surge a Cascata da Cabreia, onde as águas do Rio Mau ganham velocidade e força antes de se despenharem por uma rochosa encosta.
Indubitavelmente bela e relaxante, a Cascata da Cabreia consegue oferecer ao seu visitante de tudo um pouco: a frescura provocada pela queda de água na bacia fluvial, a vegetação densa e ordenada pela intervenção a que foi sujeita através de um projecto de recuperação, os recantos convidativos a sentimentos mais românticos, as mesas e bancos de apoio vindos ao encontro de quem quer associar ao descanso e gosto gastronómico. <a href="https://www.cm-sever.pt/">www.cm-sever.pt/</a>
