Museo del Sughero / Cork Museum, Calangianus How is it possible that Calangianus, a remote town in the Gallura hinterland, was included in the last century among the 100 most industrialized municipalities in Italy? The answer is very simple: cork. The process, which officially began in 1851, soon made Calangianus a fortune: in a short time, workshops were built that employed hundreds of people from the surrounding villages. Finally, this resource, which had always been so widespread in the region, was exploited on a large scale. In fact, in 1906, cork was successfully presented at the International Exhibition in Milan. The first edition of the Cork Fair dates back to 1978. Text / Source: Ministro del Turismo Republica Italiana https://www.italia.it/it/sardegna/museo-del-sughero

In the Vallicciola park on Mount Limbara, the most photographed trees are the magnificent sequoias. Near the Hotel Vallicciola, a clean path immerses itself in a forest of sequoias mixed with a few pines. The sequoias of Vallicciola, an enchanting mountain village on the Limbara, are monumental trees, planted at the beginning of the last century, which reach almost 40 meters in height.

Bridge still closed as of 20th April 2024. Looks like there's still weeks/months of work left. I tried to cross but the construction workers forced me to turn around and take the 15km detour

The Monti - Calangianus railway, a short line of only 27 kilometers in length, was originally part of a longer network connecting the main centers of the Gallura interior, which reached as far as the town of Tempio Pausania.

The redwoods in Sardinia can be seen in Vallicciola, a delightful mountain village on the top of the Limbara massif. The very tall sequoias that inhabit the mountain in the territory of Tempio Pausania are truly majestic monumental trees that reach 40 meters in height. Planted at the beginning of the last century, they have long guarded the Vallicciola forest; a green area of incomparable beauty, a well-kept and maintained evergreen forest.

Lake Coghinas is an artificial lake that collects water from the Rio Mannu and the river of the same name. It was built in 1927 under Mussolini, to build a hydroelectric power station. The dam is 185 meters long and 58 meters high. On the eastern bank of the gorge you can see an Art Nouveau villa that housed the director of the plant, which was then abandoned.

Ozieri is surrounded by lush vegetation, which surrounds the village like an amphitheater. The village is made up of a network of streets and stairways, which open onto countless small squares and courtyards, with beautiful views of the valley.
