セストゥの湖・トップ8

This place is a good example of how conservation can be overdone. Driving along the dam allows you to get closer to the flamingos than walking or cycling through the so-called park. I was disappointed. It's better to go to the zoo to see the flamingos.

wow what a place!!!😍

Nice place reachable by bike

Very long and pleasant cycle path

Dirt path from which you can reach all of Cagliari and Quartu Sant' Elena

Pack your bike and get ready for a tour through one of Sardinia's most breathtaking nature reserves: the Molentargius-Saline Regional Natural Park. Introduced by Regional Law No. 5 of February 26, 1999, this green paradise extends over the territory of the municipalities of Cagliari and Quartu, right at the gates of the picturesque Poetto beach. Grab your helmet and get started: This park is made for cycling enthusiasts like you. The paths are car-free and offer easy, pleasant cycling. The fresh wind blows around your nose as you drive through an impressive landscape that is bursting with life. Birds chirp, grass rustles and then, as if out of nowhere, they appear - thousands of flamingos standing majestically in the shallow water. A sight that you won't soon forget. Your path continues, always along the picturesque coast, until you make a stop by the sea. Feel the sand between your toes, listen to the waves and breathe in the salty sea breeze. Wonderful, isn't it? The journey ends, but only for now, at the port of Cagliari. You can park your bike here and end the day in one of the cozy cafés. But don't worry, Molentargius Park in Quartu is already waiting for your next visit. A place to which you always enjoy returning - by bike, of course.

This section of the MTB tour leads to Molentargius Park, a unique nature reserve. Where there were salt basins for centuries, the pink flamingo now has its home and can be admired there undisturbed. The Molentargius Saltworks has a large extension from the foothills of the Campidano, which I travel on another tour, to the districts of Quartu Sant'Elena, Quartucciu and Selargius as well as to the south of the long Poetto sea promenade, all of which are on this tour. The cycle paths in the nature park are easily accessible gravel roads or paths and are well signposted. Otherwise, you ride on paved bike paths and less often on roads with cars. The cycle paths in the nature reserve are directly connected to the Via Sale cycle path, which leads out of the city of Cagliari, and enable a largely relaxed cycle tour along the entire route. The Terramaini cycle path to Selargius or Monserrato is only accessible via a short stretch of city road.

Wonderful salt lake with a rich presence of pink flamingos and migrating black-winged stilts
