Su Gorropu gorge is with no doubt one of the
most impressive natural beauties on the island, it opens up in
the Supramonte between the calcareous rocks of mount Oddeu and
of the Cuccuttos peak. Dug by the force of the Flumineddu river
waters, the gorge looks like an actual canyon with dizzy heights
over 500 m high. The bottom, which can be visited only with the
help of a guide, is an alternating of large smooth rocks, ponds
and natural small lakes with rare species of birds of prey flying
over it.
Excursions in the gorge are best done in Spring and Summer, the
rain in Autumn can make the river path unsafe.
To get there from Dorgali go down towards the Oddoene
region and continue along the valley of the Flumineddu river;
after about 10km there is a fork in the road you will see an exit
on the right with a signpost for Tiscali. Continue on this road
until the bridge of Sa Barva where there is a sign for the path
leading to the gorge.
