An adventurous approach, barking dogs, thorny undergrowth. The dolmens were great, but unfortunately the hiking trail was not well maintained, so we turned back with our son.

Plains with a primordial appearance, large green spaces bordered by imposing rock formations, isolated or in rows, with caves dug by nature and inhabited by man over the millennia

The caves are accessible from the road across a meadow. However, there are no paths, despite other claims to the contrary. We didn't find one, and the thistles and thorns make hiking less enjoyable. The area and the view are, of course, wonderful.

The necropolis of Puttu Codinu ("rock well") is an archaeological site located in the municipality of Villanova Monteleone, province of Sassari, near the state road 292 that leads to Monteleone Rocca Doria. A necropolis with nine hypogeal tombs was found on the site, in an area with rocks emerging from the surrounding land. The tombs were found by chance during recent excavation work. It is believed that the site began to be used in the recent Neolithic (3500 BC). Source: Wikipedia https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necropoli_di_Puttu_Codinu

The path passes through the Domus de Janas of S'Ena de Cannuja, ancient pre-Nuragic tombs carved into the rock, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. This necropolis includes six tombs dug into a trachytic ridge. The tombs were presumably reached using carvings dug into the rock face similar to those still preserved in the Domus de Janas Sos Furrighesos necropolis in Anela.

At the top of Mount Torru there is a vast amphitheater which houses the majestic Torru nuraghe, dominating the entire peak. The nuraghe, a typical megalithic building of ancient Sardinia, was developed during the Nuragic age between 1900 and 730 BC. This structure, built with blocks of soft trachyte, rests directly on the rock which acts as a natural bastion. The view from here is wide and breathtaking.

In the territory south of Ossi there is an imposing necropolis on a limestone ridge of the southern slopes of Mount Mamas. Left Ossi in the direction of Florinas, after 10 km on the SP 3, on the left you see a dirt road that leads quickly to a large open space, where you can leave your bike under a big oak tree. Here a path, well delimited by low dry stone walls, climbs (for 400 m.) to the funeral complex. The necropolis consists of 18 domus de janas, all multicellular (in two of them there are up to 12 rooms), richly adorned with pilasters, panels, false doors, taurine protomes, spiral or wolf teeth motifs. Some tombs reproduce the structure of the pre-nuragic houses with great realism: horizontal, or single or double sloping roofs, central beams and lateral joists, support pillars, zigzag and sawtooth motifs, fireplaces… everything carved in the rock. Remember to bring a torch. The place is free to access and is clearly indicated by a sign at the beginning of the dirt road.
