The itinerary

Oaks and pine forests are the prevailing environments on this route, with roads in good condition. There are frequent stretches of plateau, with numerous openings through the vegetation that allow views of the surrounding area. Immediately after the road pass of Sedda Partziganes, about a hundred metres from the asphalt road, there is an open wooden hut that can be an excellent shelter in case of rain. There are no active fountains along the route, except those on the outskirts of the village, but it is still possible to refresh yourself in the stream, if active, at the lowest point of the route. In the clockwise direction, the route ends with a long, mainly downhill asphalted section, for a relaxing re-turn to the village, with great views down to the last metre.

THE OAST PROJECT: OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

The project, coordinated by the GAL BMG in partnership with the GAL Sisteron-Buëch (France) and the GAL Kilkenny (Ireland), aims to promote sustainable and active tourism in rural areas of Europe. The specific objective of the project was to enhance and develop the tourist attractiveness of the inland waters of Barbagia, through outdoor sports and water activities, in line with the thematic area "sustainable tourism" chosen in the GAL BMG's PDA. The three territories involved boast a rich and varied natural, landscape, and cultural heritage with strong identity traits and enormous potential for the development of active tourism. However, some problems common to all partners have been highlighted, such as: insufficient enhancement and tourist promotion of inland areas, isolation, the absence of an international network useful for the exchange of good practices, and insufficient diversification, delocalization, deseasonalization, and internationalization of tourist flows. The OAST Project was created to respond to these critical issues, as active tourism and sustainable tourism represent the basis for the revival of territories characterized by enormous problems of depopulation, lack of services, unemployment, and school dropout. The idea, therefore, is to promote forms of sustainable, active, responsible, and experiential tourism, as well as to offer diversified and deseasonalized solutions suitable for a constantly growing number of active tourists. The specific action involved the georeferencing and description, in Italian and English, of 19 GAL BMG itineraries related to the theme of water. The itinerary tracks are available and downloadable, in Gpx format, on these pages and also on the GAL BMG's Wikiloc account.
