Trenino Verde: Niala - Montarbu

TRIPS:
> Montarbu Tour
> Seui Tour
> The Tacchi

Starting from the station of Arbatax at sea level, the Trenino Verde's route crosses the comunes of Girasole, Villagrande, Elini, Arzana, Ilbono and Lanusei; you see appear majestically the Gennargentu, Sardinia's highest mountain chain, with its peaks reflected in the lago Flumendosa. The countryside is a roller coaster of thrills: Perda Liana, a limestone "tacco", sticks up all by itself, then you go into the areas belonging to the comunes of Gairo, Ussassai, Ulassai and Seui, when the landscape changes once again, with many-shaped rocks. Once we reach Niala we proceed on foot for the Montarbu nature reserve, located between Ussassai and Seui. An expert guide will shown us round this park managed by the Ente Sardo Foreste, among the colours and scents of unspoilt nature. Unmistakeable through the foliage of the trees, the smell of roasting meat and good Sard cooking herald lunchtime, with a big spread to welcome visitors who can try the traditional Culurgionis and Marracconeddus Sciarrancaus and the roast meats, all washed down with a fine Cannonau wine. In the afternoon you can make a nice walk to go exploring among the limestone tacchi.
