Giara Plateau Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Giara di Gesturi plateau is home to the small wild horses "Cavallini della Giara", which are very rare in Italy and Europe. Here the Parco della Giara was set up to protect them. The landscape consists mainly of cork oaks and Mediterranean maquis.

Often you can only hear the cute wild horses neighing from afar. With a bit of luck you can also spot them and watch them nibble on the green of the trees.

The park can be visited on your own or you can book a guided tour.

Pauli Piccia Wild Horses

Highlight • Natural

We didn't see any wild horses here in the fall. They stayed more in the woods between the trees. So keep your eyes open during the hike.

It is not a nuragic settlement, but the last huts of the shepherds, the so-called "pinnettas" of the 1960s. These correspond to the construction of the Nuragic period.

At the parking lot there is information where you should register so that the rangers do not close the area before you have left it. There are also toilets and a small cafe. In late summer, the lakes on the plateau have dried up. Nevertheless, you can be lucky and meet the wild horses at one of these lakes. Otherwise …
