곤노스/곤노스파나디가 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The Church of Santa Severa, dating back to the Byzantine period, is located on a hill a few meters from the town of Gonnosfanadiga.

This small, quiet, traffic-free paved secondary road crosses the valley between Arbus and Gonnosfanadiga and leads to the Giants' Tomb of San Cosimo. It is part of the Santa Barbara Mining Trail.

Located at the top of the pass of the same name, at 685 meters above sea level, this small, well-maintained wooden shelter offers shelter from the sun and bad weather and can also be used as a bivouac or emergency shelter. Inside, there is a table and benches.

Perd'e Pibera Park is a vast forested area of over 400 hectares, rich in centuries-old holm oaks, strawberry trees, and yew trees, with reforested areas of conifers and broadleaf trees that encourage the return of native vegetation. It is an ideal place for hiking and outdoor recreation, thanks to marked trails and areas equipped with tables and benches. The park also contains the remains of the Perd'e Pibera mine, once used for molybdenite extraction. Today, the restored mining buildings house facilities for tourism and environmental education. From the park, you can reach the Linas massif and the Murru Mannu waterfall, the highest on the island.

At the foot of the Monte Linas massif, the town of Gonnosfanadiga lies at the transition between the Medio Campidano plain and the first hills of southwestern Sardinia. The area preserves numerous archaeological remains, including nuraghi and Giants' Tombs, such as that of San Cosimo, among the largest on the island. The town, with a population of approximately 6,000, is closely linked to agriculture and craftsmanship: local knives, honey, wine, and oil are famous. Strolling through the town center, you'll notice the centuries-old wells that once served wayfarers and still serve as meeting points for the community. The town has shops, bars, and restaurants, and throughout the year, festivals dedicated to bread, olives, and oil are held.

Arbus is a village in the Medio Campidano region with a long tradition of mining and craftsmanship. The historic center is home to the Sardinian Knife Museum, several churches, and workshops that keep traditional skills alive. The town is a good starting point for visiting the former mines of Ingurtosu and Montevecchio or reaching the beaches of Scivu and Piscinas. Here, you'll find several options for eating and sleeping, as well as markets, bars, pharmacies, and essential services, useful for those walking the Santa Barbara Mining Trail.

A worthwhile hike to the summit of Monte Arcuentu. You have to search for the narrow paths at times, a bit of an adventure 😉 ...

Descent from Arcuenteddu is barely a path. Avoid if possible.
