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.

To reach the waterfall, follow the path crossing Rio Cannisoni and you will find yourselves in a thick ilex grove where, for some stretches, you can admire the slopes of Punta Magusu (1023 m asl) and Punta Acqua Zinnigas (1136 m asl). As you gradually climb the slope towards the waterfall, you will find narrow passages, great granite masses and small ponds hidden in lush vegetation.
Some stretches of the route are equipped with steps and handrails and look over splendid views towards the highest peaks of the Mountain Chain. Having visited the waterfall, you can retrace your steps by the side of the torrent running through a rocky gulley, wild and appealing, marked by small ponds and tiny waterfalls.
