An
excursion for nature-lovers amid gorges, crags and caves, searching for
the remains of the ancient Nuragic civilisation, in a wild environment.
A place- so different from the renowned beaches along the coast – the
hinterland is furrowed with valleys and impervious canyons where shady
evergreen forests grow.
In
this corner of Sardinia is one of the most beautiful and wildest valleys,
enclosed within sheer cliffs and century-old evergreen oaks. “Sa Juntura”:
where the torrents, coming from the spectacular canyons of Orbisi and
Flumineddu and the cave of Donini, meet on their way towards Gorroppu.
During periods of heavy rain the pressure forces the water out of the
Donini cave creating an impressive waterfall, several metres high( Su
Cunnu’e S’Ebba). Here, the river is surrounded by oleander bushes and
pebble beaches where one can relax. |
