Mount Idolo 1240m. Great view of the coast to the east with the Arbatax, Tortioli and the surrounding area as well as the towns of Arzana and co, almost below the summit.

I would do the tour the other way around next time. Better path up and forest path down.

Hiking

On Monte IDOLO, hikers will not come across a summit cross - as is often the case. The small sacred monument that instead rises above Sardinia is a statue of SAN MICHELE ARCANGELO. The heavenly messenger is equipped with powerful wings, which give him an imposing figure. However, one will look in vain for a sword or a lance, which are often given to him as an attribute.
