Rota do Enxaimel
A country road in Testo Alto, outside Pomerode, lined with about 50 German half-timbered farmhouses from the 19th century, said to be the most concentrated collection outside Germany.
The Enxaimel Route runs through the Testo Alto countryside northwest of Pomerode. The road is about 16 km long and passes timber-framed, brick-walled farmhouses built by early immigrants. Many are still lived in and farmed today, and the route is listed as a Brazilian national heritage site. You can drive or cycle slowly along it, and several farmhouses are open as small museums, craft workshops or cafes. Please take photos from the roadside and do not enter private courtyards. Parts of the road are gravel, so be careful after rain.
