The best walks and hikes around Caragnani/Calangianus

A simple hut with benches and tables, located on a gravel road, suitable for a rest or a short overnight stay. There is also space for a tent in front of the hut. Occasional traffic from construction/forestry vehicles.

Nice highlight..

Special place and for us Dutch very special because this tomb shows similarities with the dolmens in Drenthe (Netherlands). In addition, it is a very beautiful piece of nature where this tomb is located. From the parking lot it is only a short walk without challenges and recommended for everyone!

Today is the 28th of July, I recommend leaving as soon as it is light because the first part is exposed to the sun, leaving late becomes an ordeal, leaving early however it is easy to tackle. For the rest of the route there are more areas under the trees than those exposed to the sun. Trekking shoes recommended, very stony path in the descending phase.

First of all I must say that you need to add one km to the route. It occurred to me afterwards to record it. The excursion begins in Calangianus (Sassari) at the La 13 bar, so called because it is near the former roadman's house n. 13 of the former Calangianus Monti railway. You can find it on the Ss 127 km 30 Calangianus - Telti, 07023 Calangianus SS. Leave the car there and after about a kilometer the route saved by me begins, it's very easy, you can't go wrong, just follow the arrows for Li Conchi. Beautiful ride, not very easy, quite challenging, especially on the way back which is steep and very irregular. There must be at least two of you because from the point of arrival to the point of departure there are approximately 15 km. Have a nice walk!

This impressive mountain range is the highest in the region and offers an unmistakable panorama with its two striking granite peaks, Punta sa Berritta and Punta Balistreri. The rugged peaks contrast with the densely forested slopes, which form a green band around the bare peaks with chestnuts, pedunculate oaks, pines, firs and firs. As soon as you reach the summit and look as far as Corsica and the island of Asinara under clear skies, you will understand why so many hikers rave about this place. Your starting point could be the hiking car park below the summit, where the small Madonna della Neve chapel rises from granite rocks. From here you have six different trekking routes available. But maybe you would like to start the adventure in the town of Vallicciola and set off on a hike into the mountain range. Such a circular tour takes between two and a half and four hours, depending on the route. You should be alert on the way, because wild boars roam this area. It is advisable to avoid the forest and take to the road, especially at dusk. Would you like to take a break? Then find a place near the church where you can enjoy the peace and quiet and the view. And when you finally drive along the winding road that takes you into the mountains, you will find that the journey is an adventure in itself. The best time to tour the Monte Limbara mountain range is between May and October. But even in winter, the snow-covered peak offers a charming sight. You need to be sure-footed on your hike, because nature shows its wild side here. But that is precisely what makes this region so charming. So, lace up your hiking boots and set off on a journey of discovery!

Monte Limbara is the highest mountain massif in northern Sardinia. The two bare granite peaks Punta Balistreri (1,363 m) and Punta sa Berritta (1,359 m) are visible from afar. The slopes of the Monte Limbara massif are forested almost to the summit with chestnut, pedunculate oak, pine, pine and fir trees. (Source: Wikipedia)

The holy Madonna della Neve (Maid of the Snows) was very venerated in the past. August 5th is therefore a holiday dedicated to the Virgin "of Snow".
