ゴンノス/ゴンノスファナーディガのおすすめツーリングルート

The Palazzo della Direzione building stands out in the midst of a now-abandoned village surrounded by nature; it is as contradictory as it is fascinating.

Excellent place to rest after the climb from Flumini Maggiore, before going downhill and partially on gravel among the cork trees

A really great campsite with a lovely owner. It's about a 40-minute walk down to the sea over the dunes. ...

The Montevecchio Mine is one of the most representative sites of Sardinian industrial archaeology and is part of the UNESCO-recognized Geo-mining Historical and Environmental Park of Sardinia. Mining operations, which began in 1848 and ended in 1991, made Montevecchio one of Europe's most important mining centers for lead and zinc production. The complex preserves washeries, shafts, workshops, warehouses, miners' quarters, and the management building with the adjoining church of Santa Barbara. Today, several guided tours are available that illustrate daily life in the mines and the technological evolution of the mining industry. Tours can be booked online at http://www.minieramontevecchio.it/ or at the Geo-mining Park information points.

Montevecchio, also known as Gennas Serapis, is an ancient mining village now a hamlet of Guspini, nestled in the Geo-Mining Historical and Environmental Park of Sardinia. Founded in the 19th century as the administrative center of the lead and zinc mines, it was established here. The village is home to the Montevecchio Mine information point and the Gennas Food and Wine Confraternity, a trattoria offering excellent food in a friendly, family-friendly atmosphere. They are usually open on weekends, but we recommend contacting them to check opening times, make reservations, and arrange for service. The owner is very helpful and is happy to welcome hungry travelers.

Built in the early 1900s and named after Lord Thomas Allnutt Brassey, the Naracauli Washery processed blende, the mineral from which zinc was extracted. Connected to the Gennamari and Ingurtosu mines by funiculars and railways, it was one of Sardinia's main mining facilities for decades. Dismantled in the 1970s, today its monumental remains—immersed in the landscape of the Costa Verde—are one of the most iconic images of the Sardinian Geomineral Park.

Portixeddu beach, divided in half by the mouth of the Mannu River, extends for over two kilometers between the rugged cliffs of Sulcis and the Costa Verde, in the Buggerru area. This long stretch of fine, pale sand is surrounded by a pine forest that offers shelter on hot days. The crystal-clear water and transparent seabed invite long, refreshing swims; however, caution is advised, as the currents can be strong. In summer, there are a few kiosks and refreshment stands. From November to May, however, the area once again takes on a secluded and quiet atmosphere, with no services or refreshments available.

Until the mid-19th century, Montevecchio didn't even have a name. With the development of the mine by the Sanna-Castoldi family, a cluster of buildings serving the mining industry arose: homes for employees and managers, offices, schools, as well as recreational facilities and sports facilities, as well as a hospital. Even today, not a single structure in the village exists that wasn't built for the mine and its workers. Today, Montevecchio still has a few hundred inhabitants, and walking its streets, you can appreciate the urban and architectural evolution of the village, developed over 150 years of mining activity.
