이스카누/스카노 디 몬티페로 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

There are two ways to get there. One upper and one lower path.

It is located in the municipality of Santu Lussurgiu (OR) A spectacular rocky peak of Montiferru that reaches an altitude of 970 meters. The west side is vertical, while the east side is inclined and climbable. On the summit there are the remains of a megalithic fortification, also known as Rocca 'e su Para, a toponym attributed, it seems, for the use of the fortress by Camaldolese friars as a place of prayer.

On the side of the dirt road, looking out between the rocks, you have an excellent view of the valley towards the sea. Be careful, do not climb on the upper edge of the rocks, because you are on the top of a volcanic dike, with a vertical wall towards the valley.

On the slopes of the Entu and Urtigu mountains (the latter is actually better known as "Su Mullone", or "pile of stones" in the local dialect), this panoramic path allows you to see both the green hills of the Montiferru massif, of volcanic origin, which characterizes this whole part of central-western Sardinia.

Disappointment... we are experienced hikers. We followed the route to the letter and found ourselves on barely marked paths overgrown with vegetation (brambles, thistles). The way back is no better: tarmac road used by many trucks. Hiking to be completely revised because it is impassable on many sections.

Beautiful view on the way to the waterfall

Once you reach the end of the road, take the path on the left, aided in the direction by yellow signs with the right direction. You have to go down by skipping a few stones here and there, and the last stretch requires you to rely on an improvised balustrade with various branches, which is however a bit unsafe.

The arrow shown in the photo is no longer present (April 2024). As shown in the photo, once you reach this crossroads, take the passage on the left.
