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.

THE MONTE LINAS MASSIF
Just a short distance from the Hotel, set in an unspoiled natural environment, is a vast stretch of forest; passing along attractive silent pathways, through deep gullies and ilex groves, you come to the plain of Oridda, the Muru Mannu waterfall and Punta Magusu.
Amongst the numerous excursions possible, we propose three itineraries:
S'EGA SITZORIS WATERFALLS
The route winds along “Gutturu Derettu” starting from the old Winery at Biddascema; at the first turnoff, where the path is marked by a barrier, choose the left-hand fork.
The cart track on the right of the river, recently repaired, will bring you to Porta Lada and Genna Farracesus, the borderline between Villacidro and Gonnosfanadiga.
Still following the river along the old track on the left, you will see the meeting point of the two torrents, Rio Gutturu and Rio S’ega Sitzoris. Passing through a thick wood of ilex, juniper, phillyrea, lentisk and strawberry trees, you come to the ford and, along a path through the granite rocks and pools of water, you cross to the right hand bank.

During this trip, you will come across old ruins of huts and animal sheds, and will then reach the intersection of the “Su Pressiu” canal, under the peaks of Genna Magusu and Maguseddu (992 m asl).
In this corner of the forest, amongst the most difficult to access of the whole area, you can admire deep gullies of breathtaking beauty, dozens of large and small waterfalls, majestic pinnacles and granite

peaks, steep cliffs and channels clothed in lush plant life.
Spring is without a doubt the best time for a visit to this area.
