Trail Reviews
Circular tour with unforgettable views. We started today by entering the hinterland rich in mining history and not only by climbing the hills and arriving at the Arcu Genna Bogai Pass at 555 meters above sea level. From the pass begins a long descent with a detour to admire the ancient Roman temple of Antas. We resume the itinerary and continue an interminable but panoramic descent that bend after bend leads us to the mining remains of the former Su Zurfuru Mine. Sin returns to the coast to the town of Buggerru. We travel along the Iglesiente coast which has a wild charm and a great variety of landscapes and beaches. We climbed entering the fascinating Sulcis Iglesiente and returned to the coast to admire the Pan di Zucchero, one of the most impressive and spectacular natural monuments of the island. Leaving the coast we return to Iglesias.
