Great view. Beautiful area.

A uniquely shaped, towering tower, a natural monument, symbol of Ogliastra, and a key morphological feature of central-eastern Sardinia. Perhaps once a gathering place for the Nuragic peoples, it later became, in popular legend, the entrance to the underworld. It protrudes from the earth like a giant finger reaching toward the sky and, especially in this wild area, is a landmark visible from afar for hikers. Perda 'e Liana is an extraordinary rock formation declared a natural monument in 1993. The peculiar "mountain," known in Sardinian as Taccu or Tonneri, rises in the Gairo Sant'Elena area: it is the greatest witness to the erosive effects of weathering that have been affecting the vast limestone cover of Ogliastra on the border with Barbagia di Seulo for several million years. Erosion gradually isolated the "tower," forming its base. It is the highest (1293 m) of the numerous Ogliastra limestone mountains, the northern foothills of the Tonneri plateau, about two kilometers away, to which it is connected by the s'Arcu 'e su Pirastu Trottu pass. Perhaps in ancient times, they formed a single mountain ridge. Source and further information: https://www.sardegnaturismo.it/de/entdecken/perda-e-liana

Not a Nuraghi, but a wonderfully maintained rest area!

In October 1951, the old town center, now called Gairo Vecchio, as well as the historic castle complex were almost completely destroyed by flooding[2] and were later abandoned in order to rebuild new houses above the half-destroyed village and on the coast. In contrast to Gairo Vecchio, today's place is also known as Gairo Nuovo or Gairo Sant'Elena. The current municipality of Cardedu emerged from the settlement on the coast in 1984, which explains the year in the town's coat of arms.

The German-language television series “Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity” – which I fully recommend in my opinion – devotes a quarter of an hour to the UNESCO world cultural heritage of the “NURAGHI” in Sardinia and the traditional shepherd’s song there, known as “Canto a Tenore”. The text accompanying the program says “Over seven thousand round towers made of stone pieces weighing tons are scattered all over Sardinia. Often only the stumps of these megalithic buildings, called nuraghi, remain. The first were around 1400 BC. Built. Small stones were placed between the mighty blocks, a construction method that made the stone towers collapse-proof.” This article (episode 413 of the series) is available in the ARD media library under the following link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/sardinien/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS8xNTg4MzM5MA

The cave is very worth seeing. We can also recommend the restaurant.

Once a lively town, now just a collection of ruins. The name "Gairo" comes from the Greek words "ga" and "roa" meaning "flowing earth" and is a reference to the sad history of the village. In October 1951, the old town center, today called Gairo Vecchio, and the historic castle complex were almost completely destroyed by flooding and later abandoned in order to rebuild new houses above the half-destroyed village and on the coast.
