Tips from the Community
A semi-abandoned stone fountain. There were also two water features, later reduced to one, and now that one has also been closed. It's no big deal, as there's another water feature a little further ahead where it intersects with the asphalt road. This site also features the first wooden sculpture, depicting a seated man.

A true table mountain! A steep climb of over 500 meters, steep in places, but worth it. Beautiful scenery, horses, cows, goats, and sheep, a huge cork oak forest – and the silence is fantastic, too, with no cars around. And a speedy descent to Truili is included.

To get there there is no well-defined trail except before reaching the riverbed

Disused quarry, known by the name of "ziu Luisu". In the open air, there is also a tunnel closed by an iron gate. A little further on, on the right, a long descent begins that leads back to the country church of Santa Suia
