Pathways Activities

The pathway

The trail offers along the way wide panoramic stretches that lead to the top, up to the characteristic so-called rocky formation of Concale Petuntu (623 m above sea level) after which the trail descends towerds the houses of "Perdu Melis".

Some viewpoints allow to admire from the east the Gulf of Cagliari, to the west to the wooded valley of the Camboni river, to the plain of Cixerri towards the northwest.

Useful informations

NOTE: an off-track stretch has been cleaned by the staff of the WWF, but it must be reported the presence of a landslide that took away a part of the cart track and that could become dangerous. In this point the path has been diverted 5 meters upstream and equipped with a rope (absolutely unsafe) to facilitate the passage.

WARNING

The first part of the trail was diverted upstream of the original track due to landslide movements, which in fact have interrupted the old path between Sa Canna and Rocca Lada. The signs on the spot indicate the deviation.
Some sections of the trail may be partially closed or hidden by vegetation, especially cistus, and may be difficult to walk, especially for non-expert hikers without a GPS track.
Along Gutturu Mannu’s trails, there are unauthorizedcables and ropes that are not reliable.
This trail, like many others due to the orographic conformation of the area of Gutturu Mannu, can become impassable, not fordable, or even dangerous, in case of heavy rains and consequent floods (even after days from the weather phenomena).
Some sections present some exposed passages, with a walking surfaces wide enough for the easy passage, but in case of rains or particularly wet days they can be very slippery, increasing the risk of falls on slopes. On the plot there are some unauthorized cables and ropes, which you should definitely not rely on.

HOW TO GET

From Cagliari by car take the S.S. 195 to Pula, turn after 12 km towards the industrial area of Macchiareddu, then take the second road west and continue to the country church of S. Lucia. This location can also be reached by the S.S. 130 taking the “Pedemontana” road at Assemini (junction industrial area of Macchiareddu). From here follow the signs to the WWF oasis of Monte until the visitor center of Sa Canna (105 m s.l.s.). Leave the car in the parking lot in front of the ticket office, follow the signs for the t D 204 trail that runs first along the new visitor center and then goes into the first stretch of the valley of "Is Froccidus".

Roadbook

After leaving the unpaved car park, follow the trail that runs along the new Visitor Centre and then goes into the first part of the Froccidus valley. Here and throughout the initial part of the track (about 2.5 km) the trail has been moved upstream to avoid a landslide movement..
