Tips

Beyond the Horizon

September 23, 2023

Discover the WWF Nature Reserve Monte Arcosu: the largest Maccia Mediterranea forest in the Mediterranean, located in Uta, Assemini and Siliqua. This 3,700 hectare reserve is part of the Gutturu Mannu regional park, established in 2014.

Landscape & Flora

Embedded in the 35,000 hectare Monte Arcosu-Piscinamanna forest complex, the picture is characterized by steep valleys and elevations over 1,000 meters high. In addition to oaks, cork oaks and myrtle, you will find 46 endemic plant species and 20 orchid species. A highlight: the endemic mushroom Ramaria arcosuensis.

wildlife

The protected area is home to the Sardinian deer, which was saved from extinction in the 1980s, as well as wild cats, Sardinian geotritons and rare birds such as the Sardinian goshawk.

social commitment

The “Oasi del Cervo e della Luna” project, launched in 2020, promotes social integration in cooperation with the Domus de Luna Foundation. The project offers work and support to disadvantaged people.

Visits

Organized by "Oasi del Cervo e della Luna", the reserve opens on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Winter: 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.; Summer: 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

The WWF Monte Arcosu Nature Reserve is only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. It offers nine different hiking trails of different lengths and levels of difficulty, some of which can be combined with one another. The hiking trails start here at the visitor center.

The WWF acquired the area in 1985 to protect the flora and fauna and especially the Sardinian deer, which are threatened with extinction. With a size of 3,600 hectares it is the largest WWF oasis in Italy.

The visitor can expect a wonderfully fragrant forest, in which it hums and buzzes, and magical views of the surrounding mountains. You hardly meet other hikers.

A visit in the form of a full day trip is highly recommended. Please remember to take enough drinking water with you. Fortunately, you won't find a bar or a kiosk here.
