The point of interest

End point of trail 210 and crossroads for trails 202 and 207. From the summit, descend gradually on open terrain. To the left, trail 207 runs parallel and can be reached in a few steps under the strawberry trees. Upon reaching a wooded saddle, the trail turns sharply right, descending steeply northwest along a mule track that reaches the ridge of a wide slope in the Murdegus de Maxias area. Various paths intersect in the woods, where signage is crucial for navigation. At approximately 730 meters, descend to the left, still on a mule track, turning left again and beginning a rapid ascent, followed by a more gradual climb. Traverse the rocky slopes of Monte Maxia diagonally, gradually ascending until you reach s’Arcu ‘e S’Arena, where the trail ends and reconnects with itinerary 207. Here, you also reach the long-distance trail 200, which runs from Pixinamanna to Pantaleo.

How to get here

"Starting from Monte Nieddu, the route initially follows a forest track for a long stretch, before leaving it at a large hairpin bend and soon reaching the structures of Porcili Mannu (410 m a.s.l.), originally sheepfolds now renovated. A dirt road through the woods, very popular with wild boars, leads in a slight ascent to S’Arcu de S’Arena (633 m a.s.l.). At the pass, it is possible to proceed along several routes: therefore, continue westwards, in a steep ascent, leaving the woods at its highest point near P.ta Matta Sola (961 m a.s.l.). The trail follows the ridge line, continuing on the higher M.te Maxia (1017 m a.s.l.), before re-entering the underlying strawberry tree wood and following a mule track, in a steep descent, which allows you to visit the Murdegu de Maxias area. Another mule track, this time uphill, allows you to return to the ridge line that was abandoned near the peak and then reach the destination. (This last section can be avoided by continuing along the ridge, along the dirt road also used by trail 207).
