The Linas group is situated in the
north-western part of the province
of Cagliari.
It represents one of the largest
mountain range on the island.
The canyons are of great interest,
crossed by torrents that form
different groups of falls. Great
woodland covers the whole area.
We suggest some of the
most beautiful excursions
towards Piscina Irgas through
the rio Oridda gorge, on the
way to the Muru Mannu falls.

A well-indicated path leads to the Murru Mannu waterfall, one of the most striking in the area and the highest in Sardinia.
You walk through a thick ilex wood following the course of the Rio Cannisoni; this excursion is pleasant and varied.
As you proceed, the path leads you down towards the river bed which you will ford several times.
After passing a huge boulder, you will find the waterfall set between high rocky walls: its imposing 72 m in height causes strong emotions. If you decide to follow a slightly more difficult stretch, you can visit the nearby waterfall of “Sa Spendula e Linas”.
The natural backdrop, harsh and isolated, is marked by imposing rocky formations offering trippers some splendid views; a varied and very interesting excursion. We suggest you attempt it in springtime, when the rivers are in spate and nature reveals all its glory.
