루라스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

It's not really a "via ferrata" - but you need to have the ability to find your way and should be able to climb a bit to get to the top (and back down safely).

Even though it gets a bit steeper at this point and you might need to use your hands to help, this section was still easy to walk in October despite the rain. And the path is always visible. With good shoes and a bit of fitness, this climb can be mastered quite easily.

I can't add anything more informative to Jenny's detailed explanations. I'll just say this: It's really impressive what this culture was able to build so many thousands of years ago.

This impressive mountain range is the highest in the region and offers an unmistakable panorama with its two striking granite peaks, Punta sa Berritta and Punta Balistreri. The rugged peaks contrast with the densely forested slopes, which form a green band around the bare peaks with chestnuts, pedunculate oaks, pines, firs and firs. As soon as you reach the summit and look as far as Corsica and the island of Asinara under clear skies, you will understand why so many hikers rave about this place. Your starting point could be the hiking car park below the summit, where the small Madonna della Neve chapel rises from granite rocks. From here you have six different trekking routes available. But maybe you would like to start the adventure in the town of Vallicciola and set off on a hike into the mountain range. Such a circular tour takes between two and a half and four hours, depending on the route. You should be alert on the way, because wild boars roam this area. It is advisable to avoid the forest and take to the road, especially at dusk. Would you like to take a break? Then find a place near the church where you can enjoy the peace and quiet and the view. And when you finally drive along the winding road that takes you into the mountains, you will find that the journey is an adventure in itself. The best time to tour the Monte Limbara mountain range is between May and October. But even in winter, the snow-covered peak offers a charming sight. You need to be sure-footed on your hike, because nature shows its wild side here. But that is precisely what makes this region so charming. So, lace up your hiking boots and set off on a journey of discovery!

The Li Lolghi Giant Tomb stands majestically on a hilltop in the Li Muri region. The large Nuragic collective tomb with a total length of 27 m is the result of two construction phases. In the early Bronze Age (around 1800 BC) a tomb consisting of an elongated dolmen (allèe couverte) was erected; Later, during the Middle Bronze Age (between 1600 and 1400 BC), a long burial passage was added at a lower level than the oldest part of the tomb, ending with a two-story aedicule, presumably intended for receiving war offerings . The deceased was probably buried from above by removing one of the cover plates of the burial chamber. At the same time the exedra was added, a semi-circular space formed by slabs fixed to the floor and at the center of which there is a large monolithic arched stele 3.75 m high, decorated with the usual frame in relief. At the base is a hatch brought into the tomb by the offerings. The entire part behind the exedra, including the funerary gallery and the allée coverte, was enclosed in a large mound of earth and stones, the remains of which are still visible today. During the excavation of the monument, numerous finds, especially ceramics, from the two construction phases of the tomb were found. The nature of the vessels and their location suggest that they served as offerings at meals honoring the deceased. The tombs of the giants also serve as places of worship honoring their ancestor, but also as symbols of ownership and control over the territory, as suggested by the grandeur of these monuments.
