Nordic Walking

From industrial archaeology to classical archaeology, from the coal mines of Serbariu to that of Nuraxi Figus, which are encountered respectively in the initial and final sections of the stage, the entire route is a sort of large open-air archaeological park, where it is possible to walk through the traces of the last 5,000 years of the territory's history.

ATTENTION: in this stage there are no restaurants or pizzerias, there is a grocery store where you can buy everything you need for dinner and supplies for the following day.

Safety and useful tips

In order to leave Carbonia in the direction of the Serbariu Mine, you have to walk through an urban stretch, therefore it is necessary to pay attention to the various crossings. Once you leave the Serbariu Mine, you have to cross the SS 126 to enter the dirt road that leads to the Nuraghe Sirai. Pay attention when crossing due to the presence of heavy vehicular traffic often at high speed.

As you reach the purification plant of Flumentepido, make sure to check if the Rio Flumentepido is in flood, in which case you must take the alternative route that leads to Cortoghiana passing through Medau Desogus.

You will then arrive in Cortoghiana at the furniture store commercial area and cross the SS 126 at the traffic light. Pay attention when crossing the state highway. Afterwards, you have to walk through Cortoghiana, therefore you must pay attention to the presence of urban traffic. The route continues to Nuraxi Figus, where once again you have to pass through the village along roads with urban traffic.

The stage is long, so prepare yourself properly.

There is a  variant which reduces the length of the route by approximately 7 km.

Dall’archeologia industriale all’archeologia classica, dalle miniere di carbone di Serbariu a quella di Nuraxi Figus, che si incontrano rispettivamente alla partenza e all’arrivo della tappa, l’intero percorso è da considerarsi un grande parco archeologico a cielo aperto, dove è possibile camminare sulle tracce degli ultimi 5.000 anni di storia del territorio.

E’ prevista una variante che riduce di circa 7 km la lunghezza del percorso.

ATTENZIONE: in questa tappa non ci sono ristoranti o pizzerie, c’è un negozio di alimentari dove è possibile acquistare tutto il necessario per la cena e scorte per il giorno seguente.
