A nuraghe, natural pools, chasms, a church and a striking face carved into a cliff – these are the sights to discover on an easy walk through unspoilt countryside, amongst free-roaming pigs and donkeys.

Departure from Dèsulu/Desulo (Nuoro)
A circular walk via Bruncu Sa Runge/Monte Iscudu, offering magnificent views of the Gennargentu massif and the village of Desulo. The walk is poorly signposted but not particularly difficult, especially if you stick to the return journey along the ridge path: there are a few scattered orange and yellow markings. The route offers a circular route through the forest, but we could instead have extended it towards Mount Bruncu Spina. Expect some amusing encounters with free-roaming farm animals!
