The German-language television series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" – which I wholeheartedly recommend – dedicates a 15-minute segment to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Nuraghi in Sardinia and the traditional shepherd's song known there as "Canto a Tenore." The accompanying text states: "Over seven thousand round towers made of massive stone blocks are scattered throughout Sardinia. Often, only the stumps of these megalithic structures, called nuraghi, remain. The first ones were built around 1400 BC. Small stones were placed between the massive blocks, a construction method that made the stone towers virtually collapse-proof." This episode (episode 413 of the series) can be viewed in the ARD media library at the following link: =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/sardinien/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS8xNTg4MzM5MA

A small path leads to this nuraghe. Perched on a rocky spur, it overlooks Monte Novo San Giovanni.

With an all-mountain mountain bike you can do almost everything on the bike, both uphill and downhill

From 1903 to 1917 there was a bloody family feud (disamistade) in Orgosolo. According to tradition, the trigger was the dispute over the inheritance of the richest Orgolese, Diego Moro, who died in 1903. The feud divided the population into two hostile halves and in these years more than 50 people fell victim to the blood feud. After reconciliation seemed to have been achieved through trials in 1917, the disamistade broke out again after about 30 years. The threat of blood revenge, but also the occupation by the Carabinieri and the arbitrary arrests of the “mainland” authorities once again drove men to hide in the mountains and thus often become bandits. They were usually assured of support from the village population against the hated carabinieri. Orgosolo was declared a “bandits’ nest”. “The headquarters of the outlaws, where people suck in hatred with their mother’s milk” was written in Italian newspapers.

In 1894, 500 armed Orgolese stormed and plundered the town of Tortolì in order to steal the assets of a large landowner; many of them died in the process. The raids by Sardinian mountain dwellers known as Bardanas are documented from Roman times to the 19th century.

In the resistance against the numerous conquerors of Sardinia, a bandit culture was formed, which also became the subject of criminological studies in the 19th century. Alfredo Niceforo, a follower of Cesare Lombroso, created the myth in his book Crime in Sardinia that Sardinians were predestined for crime.

Imagine standing on the highest point in Sardinia, Punta La Marmora, and your gaze sweeps over the entire island. On a clear day you can even see the silhouettes of Corsica on the horizon. You can put this experience into practice by hiking to the summit of this 1,834 meter high elevation. Ideally, start your tour in the parking area at Rifugio Sa Crista or Rifugio S’Arena near Desulo. The route is not short at 15.5 kilometers, but it rewards you with an incredible variety of landscapes. Within a walking time of three and a half to four and a half hours, you will cross picturesque forests, pass flowering meadows and hike across impressive boulder and craggy terrain. Among other things, it goes over the summits of Bruncu Spina and Punta Paulinu. As you climb from Bruncu Spina towards Punta La Marmora, a huge summit cross might lead you astray. But don't be fooled, because the true summit is only reached when you reach the small rock pyramid that marks the top of La Marmora. The peak itself was named after the general and scientist Alberto Ferrero della Marmora, who described Sardinia in detail in his works. His love for the island will become clear to you at the summit when you enjoy the breathtaking view. You should be well prepared for this hike. This means: Sturdy hiking boots, enough water and sun protection should be in your luggage. If you need refreshment in between, you can stop off in the towns of Desulo or Fonni. The months from June to September are ideal for the tour. But Punta La Marmora is actually a year-round hiking destination for everyone who is looking for something special. Ready for this adventure? Then lace up your hiking boots and experience Sardinia at its best!

Climbing to Punta La Marmora from Bruncu Spina you first reach the pre-summit, which is misleading with its enormous summit cross. To reach the highest peak in Sardinia, you need to continue further south until you reach a small rock pyramid. This marks La Marmora's peak share of 1,833.
