The trail to the Gorropu Gorge isn't for flip-flops or half-heartedness—but if you stick with it, you'll be rewarded with one of Sardinia's most impressive natural wonders! The descent (and especially the return climb) from the upper parking lot is quite challenging: rocky, steep, and sunny—a real calf-tester. Those out on hot days should seriously consider taking the more leisurely route through the valley instead. Down in the valley, before entering the actual gorge, there's a Sardinian flag with spring water to refill your water bottle ;)
