The Felgar halt (Portuguese: Apeadeiro de Felgar) once stood as a crucial stop of the Sabor Line, since it connected and served the town of Felgar and surrounding areas with the rest of the country via train.

The Felgar halt is officially documented in the Direção-Geral do Património Cultural, within the SIPA department (Architectural Heritage Information System).

History

The Felgar halt was situated on the section of the Sabor Line running between Pocinho and Carviçais, inaugurated on 17 September, 1911. The line, along with the halt, ceased operations in the first day of August of 1988.
