I recommend avoiding the trail leading to Poggio Stefano to avoid the risk of being reported. The trail lies within a protected area, and accessing it without authorization from the National Park is considered a criminal offense under the Presidential Decree of May 17, 1996. The same applies to anyone hiking the trail to Cala Coticcio without an authorized guide.

If you don't have time to go to the island of Maddalena, you should at least enjoy the magnificent view from the rest area on the panoramic road above Palau.

Behind the mountain lies the beautiful Tahiti Beach, but access by land is regulated and only possible with a guide.

A beautiful, but quite short mountain hike. The path is comfortable, in the upper part there are steps from the time when the mountain was used for military purposes, but at the very top you need to be sure-footed. With my three shaky offspring I decided to skip the last 10 meters.

Post built between the two world wars, staircase built with blocks of rock, which envelops the granite pinnacle of Mount Tejalone, climbs up to reach the top with the old lookout which currently houses the fire station. From the top of Caprera the panorama is majestic: the view extends from the Gallura coast to the Straits of Bonifacio, getting lost to the east in the infinite blue of the horizon line, interrupted at times by the profiles of the Monaci islets.
