Rio Pitrisconi Natural Pools and Waterfalls

Fantastic the experience is worth it. But not suitable for everyone. Descent waterfall not without danger.

If you want to go to the waterfall, then you should definitely follow the sign cascata. Not easy but breathtaking

August 17, 2025,Salita al sentiero escursionistico – Formazioni rocciose fino al cancello "proprietà privata" con partenza da Ottiolu

This was supposed to be a circular route... it wasn't.
Unfortunately, at a certain point I found myself in front of a gate with a sign reading "private property" and "video surveillance area" (🤔)
Since I respect other people's property and have a little knowledge of the mentality of some Sardinian landowners (I don't want to offend anyone), I decided, …

Beautiful views with great rocks, but really only for sure-footed people with good fitness. It goes very steeply up and down, partly very narrow paths with lots of scree.

I found the approach dirt road very bumpy so I left the car a few km from the start of the trail. In any case, after a while the road becomes narrow and cemented and very steep, where off-road vehicles that provide a shuttle service pass and crossing them can be very complicated. The route is marked with the letter …

Great tour, but I don't recommend the suggested parking lot (private!) but rather about 800 m further on under the SS131, where there are several parking lots. The first half is almost entirely uphill on the road/track, then a great hiking trail with a bit of scrambling and up and down.
