On January 13, 2026, this singletrack was impassable. Even on foot, it was very difficult. It was full of loose large stones and the ground churned up by the wild boars. It was very steep; it felt like a landslide.

Known as the Sulcis Railway, this narrow-gauge line was built in the 1920s by the Ferrovie Meridionali Sarde (Sardinian Southern Railways) to connect the mining areas of Sulcis with coastal towns and ports of embarkation. The route passed through isolated landscapes and wooded valleys, serving villages and mines that are now partly abandoned. Today, bridges, tunnels, and disused stations remain, testifying to the era when the railway was the main means of communication for miners and goods in the southwest of the island.

The Rosas Mine, active from 1849 to 1980 for the extraction of silver-bearing galena, lead, and zinc, is now a multi-purpose museum that chronicles the mining history of the Sulcis region. A guided tour allows access to the underground tunnels and a close-up look at the restored structures, while nearby hiking trails allow visitors to explore the natural environment and traces of the mining activity.

Here is the entrance to the Santa Barbara tunnel, part of a complex underground system consisting of seven levels connected by vertical excavations called fornelli, once accessed by wooden ladders. Excavation work was carried out using mines and, later, mechanical compressed-air drilling, introduced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Nuraghe S'Omu 'e S'Orcu, meaning "the house of the ogre," is a Nuragic complex dating back to between 1500 and 900 BC. The imposing structure comprises a central tower, a bastion with an internal courtyard and cistern, and a rampart with five towers enclosing the Nuragic village. Traces of fire and smelting slag were found in one of the towers, evidence of metallurgical activity linked to the rich copper and tin deposits in the area.

Established in the early decades of the 20th century, the village still retains valuable buildings such as the church, the school, and the mine management building, as well as evidence of industrial archaeology such as the Zimmermann shaft structure and the compressor room.
