Legal regime in 2026: DL 124/2006 (municipal forest fire plan still in force)
Lousã is a municipality in the district of Coimbra (sub-region: Região de Coimbra), covering 138 km² in 5 parishes. Most of it, 82 %, is forest land (woodland, scrub or natural pasture, according to the COS 2025 land-cover map): there, the strip around each house is 50 m wide.
The map finds 132 villages (groups of at least 10 buildings); the largest are Lousã, Serpins and Foz de Arouce. 76 of them have forest land on more than half of the 100 m strip around them, among them Forcado, Santo Aleixo and Lomba de Alveite.
