Green oasis in Olbia with a children's playground and stadium. A pool of tranquility in the summer heat.

Hike through beautiful nature. Unfortunately, the GPS often breaks down. The path is still easy to see. But the round trip is much longer than it is recorded. Depending on your pace, it takes 3.5 to 4 hours. The path is very rocky in places and can only be mastered with a few climbing sections. Good shoes and poles are recommended. Avoid it when it's wet! Great view of the coastal landscape, the pools of water also have their charm. The descent to the waterfall is tough. A worthwhile hike! The journey by car to the parking lot is doable, but it is a challenge. Lots of potholes and stones, only a few parts are concrete. There is a shuttle from the base station, but only early in the morning and in the afternoon.

A very nice place to take a break. In spring you can also see newts. The rocks around are nice and flat, so you can also have a nice picnic.

Rio Pitrisconi is a river that crosses the forests of Monte Nieddu di San Teodoro. Along the way you can admire the spectacular granite canyons dug by the slow flow of the river, large natural pools and waterfalls.

A picturesque forest of holm oaks, junipers and oaks hides the waterfalls and pools of Rio Pitrisconi. They are generated by the river of the same name, one of the rare Sardinian streams that flows throughout the year. Over time, the patient work of erosion carried out by the water on the granite has created a gorge with natural pools, small lakes on which the green of the Mediterranean vegetation is reflected and a spectacular waterfall that makes various leaps.
