Part 2. We wanted to climb the southern section of the coast from the Rau Santa Caterina river, but soon realised that the beach had been completely covered with round stones due to coastal protection measures. The climb was originally possible via a path, but later it was clearly marked as private. With great effort we were able to get onto the old, heavily overgrown thorn bushes off the path and continue upwards. There we were finally confronted with several barrier fences running across the path, weighted down with stones to keep them on the ground. This was a clear sign that this natural area is being protected. We accept that it is important to preserve sensitive natural areas, even if this means that we are denied the breathtaking views of the bay. More impressions of this section can be found in the attached pictures.
