Locally also known as Coccorroci Pools, the exact toponym is however "Is Piscinas". Another name for them is Monte Ferru pools. Furthermore, they are often mistakenly confused with another toponym (Piscina 'e Cerbus) which is actually located elsewhere, on a plateau on the other side (north-west) of Monte Ferru, along a forest track where there is a small nursery and a small Forestas construction site, but there are no waterfalls.
This place, instead, is a spectacle of nature. From the 'su Accu ‘e s’Axina' spring, crystal-clear waters flow down the valley, creating a succession of small waterfalls, with drops of a few meters, and ‘resting’ in red porphyry pools of varying width and depth.
The scenery is enchanting. The pools will appear to the hiker suddenly, behind a tangle of holm oaks, junipers, and oleanders. The pure, clear, and very fresh waters are ideal for a regenerating swim, especially during the summer heat: lulled by the gentle sound of the waterfalls.
