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.

The highest dunes in Europe

Located behind the management building, the water is drinkable and fresh even in summer.

Once past the mine, a few bends further you reach Montevecchio. The town housed the apartments of the mine managers and the highest officials who ran the mine, as well as accommodation for workers, barracks, hospital and schools, a post office, a chemical laboratory, and even a football pitch for the local team. Today inhabited by a few hundred people, most of the time you will struggle to find even a handful of them. The sound of the wind will be your only travel companion.

The Montevechio mine has hosted, in its 143 years of operation, the largest lead and zinc mining operation in the area. Now closed, it can be visited both superficially and underground https://www.minieradimontevecchio.it/orari-di-visita.html

For me the river was not passable... without taking off my shoes... at least knee high and there was a strong current. It had rained all day before.
