Known as the Sulcis Railway, this narrow-gauge line was built in the 1920s by the Ferrovie Meridionali Sarde (Sardinian Southern Railways) to connect the mining areas of Sulcis with coastal towns and ports of embarkation. The route passed through isolated landscapes and wooded valleys, serving villages and mines that are now partly abandoned. Today, bridges, tunnels, and disused stations remain, testifying to the era when the railway was the main means of communication for miners and goods in the southwest of the island.

The Rosas Mine, active from 1849 to 1980 for the extraction of silver-bearing galena, lead, and zinc, is now a multi-purpose museum that chronicles the mining history of the Sulcis region. A guided tour allows access to the underground tunnels and a close-up look at the restored structures, while nearby hiking trails allow visitors to explore the natural environment and traces of the mining activity.

Here is the entrance to the Santa Barbara tunnel, part of a complex underground system consisting of seven levels connected by vertical excavations called fornelli, once accessed by wooden ladders. Excavation work was carried out using mines and, later, mechanical compressed-air drilling, introduced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Beautiful forest trails. The mining center has a picnic area with a water tap.

A nice little bar with very friendly people. Perfect for a beer... or two ;-)

You have a wonderful view of Southern Sardinia

I followed the entire route along the SP1, but there are several trails in the woods that branch off from the dirt road and then rejoin. The highest point is at the end of the Santadi area, then you descend again to the picnic area. I recommend following the SP1 for the uphill sections and using the trails to descend the mountains.

beautiful waterfall immersed in nature. To get there the path is marked, but it is quite challenging (steep rocky descent but absolutely worth it)
