Tiscali – Campu Donianigoro (B-480)

In the pass you meet up with trail 480A which brings you back to Doloverre going around Mount Tiscali. At the pass you also come across a charcoal-makers’ mule track, following it downhill in a southerly direction via wide hairpin bends.

You cross the riverbed of Badde Doronè, starting steeply uphill again over mule tracks through a young forest. You exit the woods at Praiche 'e Antonette, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the far-off Lanaitho. Still uphill, you head in a southerly direction, keeping just below the ridge line, until you cross it in an easterly direction, bypassing a small thalweg. The path turns south again, gradually descending until it reaches the vast plain of Donianigoro near a stand of Montpellier maples. These grew here amid the remains of a vast protohistoric village on the northern edge of the beautiful plain, a sort of mirage in Supramonte.

Now on the vast plateau, you leave the branch-off for trail 482 on your right, proceeding south-west along the edge of the field. From the top of a cliff you can spot the outline of Nuragheddu Doinanicoro. Continue to the edge of the plain, where you come to the intersection with trails 440C and 440.
