Walking the stage
From the dunes of Piscinas, this walk of about 19 km climbs to the village of Ingurtosu and on to Montevecchio, passing the disused mine buildings of both. The route moves from dune to holm oak woods and Mediterranean scrub, where Sardinian deer are found.

Piscinas
Beach · 300 m from the trail as the crow flies
Among the tallest living dunes in Europe, shaped by sea winds, rising about 100 metres and running two kilometres inland. The one building is an old mine warehouse, a national monument since 1985 and now a hotel; loggerhead turtles nest on the beach.
